Osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumor with high metastatic potential. To date, achieving long-term survival of osteosarcoma patients remains a difficult task. Metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a new hallmark of cancer. However, studies on the prognostic value of hematological markers related to nutritional and metabolism in cancer patients are limited and contradictory. In this retrospective study, we extensively collected 16 hematological markers related to nutritional and metabolism in 223 osteosarcoma patients. A nutritional metabolism related prognostic scoring system (NMRS) in patients with osteosarcoma was constructed by least absolute contraction and selection operator (LASSO) cox regression analysis. Compared with individual hematological indicators, NMRS has stronger predictive power (training set: 0.811 vs. 0.362–2.638; validation set: 0.767 vs. 0.333–0.595). It is an independent prognostic factor for the survival of patients with osteosarcoma [HR: 1.957 (1.375–2.786) training set; HR: 3.146 (1.574–6.266) validation set]. NMRS-based nomograms have good and stable predictive power. NMRS facilitates further risk stratification of patients with the same clinical characteristics.
