Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance the effects of confounding factors. Kaplan–Meier (K–M) analysis and competitive risk model were used to compare the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) between LND and no-LND (N-LND) group. Combined with risk factors of multivariate logistic regression, a nomogram was built to predict lymph node metastasis preoperatively. The performance was assessed in the training set and the validation set, and internal validation was assessed.Results: Among the cohort, 822 patients underwent LND and 410 patients had positive lymph nodes. The OS and CSS of patients who underwent LND were not better than that of N-LND patients (P> 0.05). The prognosis of patients with lymph node metastases was significantly worse than that of negative patients (P< 0.05). On multivariate logistic regression, supraglottis cancer, tumor size > 5cm and grade 3– 4 classification were associated with significantly greater odds of lymph node metastasis. The nomogram showed favorable predictive efficacy and good calibration (in the training cohort C-index=0.700; in the validation cohort C-index=0.721).Conclusion: For elderly patients with T3-T4 laryngeal cancer, LND did not bring significant survival values. Supraglottis cancer, tumor size > 5cm and grade 3– 4 classification were independent risk factors of lymph node metastasis, which means poor prognosis. The nomogram developed was an easy-to-use tool for lymph node prediction.Keywords: elderly, T3-T4 laryngeal cancer, lymph node dissection, survival, nomogramPan YZhao XZhao DLiu JDove Medical Pressarticleelderlyt3-t4 laryngeal cancerlymph node dissectionsurvivalnomogramGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 15, Pp 2321-2330 (2020)
