Abstract

Background

Although osteopenia has been associated with poor outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the oncological impact of occult vertebral fracture (OVF) has not been investigated.

Methods

The study comprised 235 patients who had undergone primary hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma between 2008 and 2019. Osteopenia was evaluated with computed tomographic measurement of pixel density in the midvertebral core of the 11th thoracic vertebra. OVF was defined if the ratios of central/anterior or central/posterior heights of the vertebrae, measured using sagittal computed tomography reconstruction between 11th thoracic vertebra to 5th lumber vertebrae, <0.8. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were conducted to assess disease-free and overall survival adjusting for potential confounders.

Results

Occult vertebral fracture was identified in 93 patients (40%), while osteopenia in 65 patients (28%). Osteopenic OVF was identified in 27 patients (12%). In multivariate analysis, gender (p < 0.001), serum PIVKA-II level ≥ 200 mAU/ml (p = 0.005), C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio ≥0.04 (p = 0.03), multiple tumors (p < 0.001), type of resection (p < 0.001), low skeletal muscle index (p = 0.002), and osteopenic OVF (HR 3.07, 95% CI 1.78–5.28, p < 0.001) were independent and significant predictors of cancer recurrence, while gender (p = 0.002), Child–Pugh grade B (p = 0.009), C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio ≥0.04 (p = 0.03), multiple tumors (p = 0.005), low skeletal muscle index (p < 0.001), and osteopenic OVF (HR 4.75, 95% CI 2.41–9.39, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of overall survival.

Conclusions

Osteopenic OVF is associated with poor oncological outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic resection. Our findings provide a compelling rationale for the further investigation of the interplay between tumor and bone metabolism.

肝切除术后肝细胞癌患者发生骨减少性隐匿性椎体骨折与肿瘤预后不良相关
背景:虽然骨减少与肝细胞癌(HCC)患者预后不良相关,但隐匿性椎体骨折(OVF)的肿瘤学影响尚未研究。方法本研究纳入了2008年至2019年期间接受肝细胞癌原发性肝切除术的235例患者。通过计算机断层扫描测量第11胸椎椎中央像素密度来评估骨质减少。OVF定义为椎体中央/前高度或中央/后高度之比,使用矢状位计算机断层重建测量第11胸椎至第5腰椎之间的高度,0.8。采用多变量Cox比例风险模型评估无病和总生存率,调整潜在混杂因素。结果隐匿性椎体骨折93例(40%),骨质减少65例(28%)。27例(12%)患者出现骨减少性OVF。在多变量分析中,性别(p & lt; 0.001),血清PIVKA-II水平≥200毛/毫升(p = 0.005), c反应protein-to-albumin比≥0.04 (p = 0.03),多个肿瘤(p & lt; 0.001),类型的切除术(p & lt; 0.001),低骨骼肌指数(p = 0.002),和osteopenic OVF (HR 3.07, 95%可信区间1.78 - -5.28,p & lt; 0.001)是独立和癌症复发的重要预测因子,而性别(p = 0.002),儿童年级B (p = 0.009), c反应protein-to-albumin比≥0.04 (p = 0.03),多发性肿瘤(p = 0.005)、低骨骼肌指数(p < 0.001)和骨质减少性OVF (HR 4.75, 95% CI 2.41-9.39, p < 0.001)是总生存率的独立预测因子。结论肝切除术后肝细胞癌患者OVF骨质减少与预后不良相关。我们的发现为进一步研究肿瘤和骨代谢之间的相互作用提供了强有力的理论依据。
