kn-abstract=Skeletal-related events (SREs) are common in patients with bone metastases from castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Despite advances in prostate cancer treatment, clinically validated predictive models for SREs in CRPC patients with bone metastases remain elusive. This gap in prognostic tools hinders optimal patient management and treatment planning for this high-risk population. This study aimed to develop a prediction model for SRE by investigating potential risk factors and classifying them into different groups. This model can be used to identify patients at high risk of SREs who need close follow-up. Between 2004 and 2013, 68 male patients with bone metastases from CRPC who were treated at our institute were evaluated for survival without SREs and survival without SREs of the spinal cord. The study analyzed clinical data at enrollment to identify risk factors for initial and spinal SREs. Multivariate analysis revealed that a high count of metastatic vertebrae, along with visceral or lymph node metastases, were significant risk factors. Patients were categorized into four subgroups based on the number of vertebral metastases and presence of visceral or lymph node metastases: 1) extensive vertebral and both types of metastases, 2) extensive vertebral without additional metastases, 3) some vertebral with other metastases, 4) some vertebral without additional metastases. The first SRE and spinal SRE occurred significantly sooner in the first subgroup compared to others. Incidence rates at 12 months for the first SRE were 56%, 40%, 27%, and 5%, and for the first spinal SRE were 47%, 40%, 27%, and 0% respectively. Patients with extensive vertebral and additional metastases require vigilant monitoring to mitigate SREs.
