From our study, the Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicates that the significant factors related to survival rate are regular analgesic use of weak opioids, lung metastasis, and previous chemotherapy. Compared to other traditional spinal metastases prognostic scoring systems, GSTSG shows the highest AUC for external validity in all follow-up times up to 24 months.
