Abstract
Background: Factors influencing in-hospital mortality in patients with well-differentiated gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) remain understudied, highlighting gaps in optimizing acute clinical outcomes. This study aimed to identify sociodemographic and clinical predictors of all-cause in-hospital mortality in this population.
Methods: Using 2016 - 2020 data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), patients with malignant well-differentiated GEP-NETs were identified via the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Sociodemographic and clinical variables (heart failure (HF), malnutrition, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and tumor site) were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression.
Results: Among 5,642 patients (mean age 64, standard deviation (SD) 12.9), multivariable analysis identified HF (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.09, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10 - 3.95), malnutrition (aOR 1.84, 95% CI: 1.29 - 2.62), pancreatic (aOR 1.52, 95% CI: 1.01 - 2.30) or colon tumors (aOR 2.31, 95% CI: 1.51 - 3.53), CCI ≥ 5 (aOR 1.49, 95% CI: 1.06 - 2.10), hypertension (aOR 0.65, 95% CI: 0.47 - 0.91) and elective admissions (aOR 0.40, 95% CI: 0.25 - 0.63) as clinically relevant factors associated with in-hospital mortality.
Conclusions: Advanced age, tumor location, malnutrition, and HF may be critical mortality predictors among patients with GEP-NETs. These findings advocate for integrated care models prioritizing nutritional support, cardiovascular monitoring, and early elective interventions to improve outcomes.
期刊介绍:
World Journal of Oncology, bimonthly, publishes original contributions describing basic research and clinical investigation of cancer, on the cellular, molecular, prevention, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis aspects. The submissions can be basic research or clinical investigation oriented. This journal welcomes those submissions focused on the clinical trials of new treatment modalities for cancer, and those submissions focused on molecular or cellular research of the oncology pathogenesis. Case reports submitted for consideration of publication should explore either a novel genomic event/description or a new safety signal from an oncolytic agent. The areas of interested manuscripts are these disciplines: tumor immunology and immunotherapy; cancer molecular pharmacology and chemotherapy; drug sensitivity and resistance; cancer epidemiology; clinical trials; cancer pathology; radiobiology and radiation oncology; solid tumor oncology; hematological malignancies; surgical oncology; pediatric oncology; molecular oncology and cancer genes; gene therapy; cancer endocrinology; cancer metastasis; prevention and diagnosis of cancer; other cancer related subjects. The types of manuscripts accepted are original article, review, editorial, short communication, case report, letter to the editor, book review.
