Background. Multi-omic data, i.e., clinical measures, radiomic, and genetic data, capture multi-faceted tumor characteristics, contributing to a comprehensive patient risk assessment. Here, we investigate the additive value and independent reproducibility of integrated diagnostics in prediction of overall survival (OS) in newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve, IDH-wildtype GBM patients, by combining conventional and deep learning methods.Methods. Conventional radiomics and deep learning features

SVM classifiers were trained on the discovery cohort (n=404) to categorize patient groups of high-risk (OS<6 months) vs all, and low-risk (OS≥18 months) vs all. The trained patient stratification model was independently tested in the replication cohort (n=112) and a patient-wise survival prediction index (SPIradiomics) was produced. Multivariate Cox-PH models were generated for the replication cohort, first based on clinical measures solely, and then by layering on radiomics and molecular information.Results. Evaluation of the high-risk and low-risk classifiers in the discovery/replication cohorts revealed AUCs of 0.78 (95%CI:0.70–0.85)/0.75 (95%CI:0.64–0.79) and 0.75 (95%CI: 0.65–0.84)/0.63 (95%CI: 0.52–0.71), respectively. Cox-PH modeling showed a concordance index of 0.65 (95%CI:0.6–0.7) for clinical data, 0.70 (95%CI:0.65–0.75) for clinical and radiomics, 0.72 (95%CI:0.68–0.77) for clinical, MGMT methylation, and radiomics, and 0.75 (95%CI:0.72–0.79) for the combination of all omics, i.e., clinical, MGMT methylation, radiomics, and genomics.Conclusions. This study signifies the value of integrated diagnostics for improved prediction of OS in GBM. Our multi-omic survival prediction tool is easily scalable and can be used for more effective clinical trial stratification.
