A nomogram refers to a quantitative analysis chart that represents the functional relationship between multiple variables using a set of disjoint line segments in planar coordinates [24]. Its advantage is that it can directly use the graph to calculate the value of a certain variable, such as ...
Chemotherapy use was determined by chart review. Results: There were no significant associations between life-expectancy estimates and chemotherapy use nor patient anxiety, depression, hope, or optimism and chemotherapy use. Patients' life expectancy estimates for 12 months and oncologists' for 6 ...
