: One of the authors (Guo-zhang Tang) has significant statistical expertise.
: Written informed consent was obtained from all subjects (patients) in this study.
: Institutional Review Board approval was obtained.
: A total of 122 of the 217 patients have been previously reported in “A computed tomography-based radiomics signature for predicting expression of programmed death ligand 1 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma”. This prior article dealt with the predictive value of radiomics features for PD-L1 expression level, whereas in this manuscript, we report on the predictive value of a radiomics nomogram for the Ki-67 expression level in HNSCCs. They are two independent studies with different predictive models.
