Predicting quality of life of patients after treatment for spinal metastatic disease: development and internal evaluation
We developed and internally evaluated a random forest model that predicts clinically meaningful improvement of QoL 3 months after the baseline visit at the outpatient clinic for patients with spinal metastases. Future studies should externally evaluate the random forest model to confirm its robustness and generalizability in daily practice.
