Abstract
Background
The hypercoagulable state of cancer patients is associated with their high mortality rate. Coagulation indicators may have an important role in the prognosis of gastric cancer patients and deserve to be explored in various aspects.
Objective
We conducted a meta-analysis to explore the correlation between coagulation and prognosis of gastric cancer.
Methods
A comprehensive systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science databases, and the Cochrane Library up to February 16, 2024. Literature screening and data extraction were performed by two independent reviewers. The processed data we pooled using either a random-effects model or a fixed-effects model and finally described overall survival with a risk ratio (hazard ratio [HR]) and predicted the likelihood of different clinicopathological events with a dominance ratio (OR).
Results
A total of 64 studies were screened for inclusion in the data analysis. Performing a meta-analysis of three indicators we derived that the risk of d-dimer (D-D), fibrinogen (FIB), and platelets (PLTs) were: HR = 1.85 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.59–2.15, N = 15), HR = 1.77 (95% CI: 1.57–1.99, N = 28), HR = 1.16 (95% CI: 1.12–1.21, N = 29). In addition to this, all three were associated with advanced clinicopathological stage (D-D: OR = 2.25, FIB: OR = 2.07, PLT: OR = 1.84), T stage (D-D: OR = 2.30, FIB: OR = 2.38, PLT: OR = 2.22) and lymph node metastasis (D-D: OR = 1.79, FIB: OR = 1.70, PLT: OR = 1.51).
Conclusion
Overall, the findings suggest that the three indicators, D-D, FIB, and PLT count, have significant predictive value for the prognosis of gastric cancer. They were associated with an advanced clinicopathological stage and a high risk of lymph node metastasis.
期刊介绍:
We also encourage the submission of manuscripts presenting preclinical and very preliminary research that may stimulate further investigation of potentially relevant findings, as well as in-depth review articles on specific therapies or disease states, and applied health delivery or pharmacoeconomics.
CTR encourages and supports the submission of manuscripts describing:
• Interventions designed to understand or improve human health, disease treatment or disease prevention;
• Studies that focus on problems that are uncommon in resource-rich countries;
• Research that is "under-published" because of limited access to monetary resources such as English language support and Open Access fees (CTR offers deeply discounted English language editing);
• Republication of articles previously published in non-English journals (eg, evidence-based guidelines) which could be useful if translated into English;
• Preclinical and clinical product development studies that are not pursued for further investigation based upon early phase results.
