The minimum required sample sizes for survival predictions in Ding et al.’s nomogram calculated by the pmsampsize package in Stata software. (A) 14-day survival prediction. (B) 21-day survival prediction. (C) 28-day survival prediction. The results indicated that at least 11,200 patients are required for 14-day, 21-day, and 28-day survival predictions, corresponding to 1,164.8 deaths and an EPP of 11.18. EPP, events per candidate predictor parameter. (This figure appears in color on the web.)
