The aim of this study was to validate the VENUSS prognostic model in a multi-institutional European cohort. METHODS: A total of 1085 consecutive patients with sporadic, unilateral, non-metastatic and histopathologically confirmed pRCC who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy between 1987 and 2020 were collected from 7 European institutions. External validity of VENUSS prognostic model was tested in 980 patients with follow-up records. The primary outcome of the study was the prediction of DR (defined as any local or distant recurrence) by both the VENUSS score and the corresponding VENUSS risk groups. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was studied with Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses. Discrimination was assessed using the concordance index, and calibration was performed for RFS. RESULTS: The median age was 64 (IQR:55-70) years and 82.6% (n=809) of patients were male. Median VENUSS score was 2 (IQR:0-4), and 62.9% (n=617), 23.9% (n=234) and 13.2% (n=129) of patients were classified into low, intermediate, and high risk in VENUSS model, respectively. At a median follow-up of 48 (IQR:23-88) months, the disease had recurred in 6.6% (n=41), 18.8% (n=44) and 63.8% (n=81) of patients with low, intermediate and high risk group, respectively. The 5-year RFS was 93.8%, 80.7% and 26.7% in low, intermediate and high risk groups, respectively (p<0.001). With each increment in VENUSS score, the risk of DR increased 1.52-fold (95%CI: 1.45-1.60, p<0.001). The discrimination of the VENUSS score for predicting DR was 81.2% (95%CI: 77.5%-84.8%). Compared with the VENUSS low risk group, the risk of DR was increased 2.91-fold (95%CI: 1.90-4.46, p<0.001) in intermediate risk group and 17.9-fold (95% CI 12.25-26.25, p<0.001) in high risk group, while it was 6.07-fold greater in high risk versus intermediate risk group (95% CI 4.17-8.83, p<0.001). Discrimination of the VENUSS group was 78.6% (95% CI 74.8%-82.4%). Both the VENUSS score and risk groups were well calibrated. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with non-metastatic pRCC treated with curatively intended surgery, both the VENUSS score and VENUSS risk groups performed well in predicting DR in this large contemporary multi-institutional European external validation cohort. The VENUSS prognostic model can provide accurate risk prediction for patient counselling, follow-up and patient selection for adjuvant trials. .
