Abstract

Purpose: Inflammatory, nutritional, and immune biomarkers are associated with the prognosis of patients with various tumors. Recently, a comprehensive predictive biomarker, the hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score, was introduced to predict clinical outcomes. We investigated the prognostic impact of preoperative HALP scores in patients who underwent hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).

Method: The subjects of this study were 209 patients who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM between February, 2005 and September, 2023. The HALP score was defined as (albumin [mg/dL] × hemoglobin [g/L] × lymphocyte [count/L]) / platelet [count/L]. The cutoff value was calculated according to the receiver operating characteristic curve based on 3-year survival.

Results: The cutoff value of the HALP score was 35, and a low HALP score was confirmed in 107 patients (51%). Multivariate analysis of disease-free survival identified lymph node metastasis (HR 1.53, p = 0.03), extrahepatic lesions (HR 2.48, p < 0.01), and a low HALP score (HR 2.0, p < 0.01) as independently poor prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis of overall survival identified extrahepatic lesions (HR 2.98, p < 0.01), a high CEA (HR 1.78, p = 0.02), and a low HALP score (HR 1.92, p = 0.02) as independently poor prognostic factors.

Conclusions: The HALP score is a useful prognostic factor for patients undergoing hepatectomy for CRLM.

结直肠癌肝转移患者肝切除术后血红蛋白、白蛋白、淋巴细胞、血小板（HALP）评分的预后意义。

目的：炎症、营养和免疫生物标志物与各种肿瘤患者的预后相关。最近，一种综合性的预测性生物标志物，血红蛋白、白蛋白、淋巴细胞和血小板（HALP）评分，被引入来预测临床结果。我们研究了术前HALP评分对行结肠肝转移（CRLM）肝切除术患者预后的影响。方法：本研究的对象是2005年2月至2023年9月期间接受CRLM肝切除术的209例患者。HALP评分定义为（白蛋白[mg/dL] ×血红蛋白[g/L] ×淋巴细胞[计数/L]） /血小板[计数/L]。根据3年生存期的患者工作特征曲线计算截止值。结果：HALP评分的临界值为35分，107例（51%）患者确认为低HALP评分。无病生存率的多因素分析发现淋巴结转移（HR 1.53, p = 0.03），肝外病变（HR 2.48, p）结论：HALP评分是行肝切除术的CRLM患者的一个有用的预后因素。

期刊介绍： Surgery Today is the official journal of the Japan Surgical Society. The main purpose of the journal is to provide a place for the publication of high-quality papers documenting recent advances and new developments in all fields of surgery, both clinical and experimental. The journal welcomes original papers, review articles, and short communications, as well as short technical reports("How to do it"). The "How to do it" section will includes short articles on methods or techniques recommended for practical surgery. Papers submitted to the journal are reviewed by an international editorial board. Field of interest: All fields of surgery.
