    A machine learning model was developed to predict bone metastasis in newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients using data from 327 individuals.

  • 2

    The Boruta algorithm identified six significant predictors for bone metastasis, including clinical T stage and Gleason score.

  • 3

    The random forest model demonstrated the best performance with an area under the curve of 0.902 in the training set and 0.906 in the validation set.

  • 4

    An interactive online prediction tool was created for individualized risk estimation of bone metastasis in prostate cancer patients.

  • 5

    Prospective multicenter studies are needed to confirm the generalizability of the developed predictive model for clinical use.
