Patients with endometrial cancer (EC) who develop bone metastasis (BM) always imply a poorer prognosis. However, reliable predictive models associated with BM from EC are currently limited.We retrospectively analyzed data on 54,077 patients diagnosed with primary EC in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent predictors of BM from EC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to determine independent prognostic factors for EC with BM. Based on independent predictors and prognostic factors, we constructed a diagnostic nomogram and prognostic nomogram separately. Besides, calibration curves, receiver operating characteristic curves, and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the models.A total of 54,077 patients with EC from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database were included in this study, 364 of whom had BM. Multivariate analysis in the logistic model showed that lung metastasis, liver metastasis, brain metastasis, N stage, T stage, histologic grade, and race were risk factors for BM from EC. Multivariate analysis in the Cox model showed that liver metastasis, brain metastasis, chemotherapy, surgery, and histologic type had a significant effect on overall survival. Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis indicated the good performance of both diagnostic and prognostic nomograms.Two clinical prediction model was constructed and validated to predict individual risk and overall survival for EC with BM, respectively. Diagnostic nomogram and prognostic nomogram are complementary, improving the clinician's ability to assess the patient's prognosis and enhancing prognosis-based decision making.
