However, while external validation studies have shown fair predictive performance for predicting percentile risk, the predictive performance of ROKS to assign patients into categorical risk groups is unknown. Therefore, we sought to assess the performance of the ROKS nomogram for risk stratification in a retrospective study. METHODS: We performed a case-control study of 200 patients (100 with and 100 without subsequent recurrence) who underwent kidney stone surgery between 2013-2015, and had at least 5 years of follow-up imaging and clinic visits for stone disease. We analyzed the performance of the 2018 ROKS nomogram via area under the receiver operating curve (ROC-AUC) for predicting 5-year symptomatic or radiographic recurrence. Then, sensitivity and specificity optimization was performed to best delineate patients between low and high risks of recurrence. Time-to-recurrence data were estimated using the Kaplan Meier method and compared by log rank testing. RESULTS: The ROKS nomogram demonstrated fair ability to predict recurrence (ROC-AUC= 0.63). A threshold of 60% predicted 5-year recurrence risk delineated lower and higher risk groups with a sensitivity and specificity optimized at 0.58 (0.48-0.68, 95% CI) and 0.63 (0.53-0.72, 95% CI) respectively(see Figure). The lower and higher risk groups had a ROKS-predicted mean 5-year recurrence risk of 40% and 76%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a significant recurrence-free advantage between the groups (p=0.001, Fig. 1). Examining the outcome of symptomatic recurrence only showed similar results. CONCLUSIONS: The ROKS nomogram has potential to serve as a tool for recurrence risk stratification into lower and higher risk groups, which may facilitate adherence to risk-based follow-up protocols.
