The baseline characteristics of the 103 patients in this study included the following: the overall cohort consisted of 50.49% males and 49.51% females. The average age of the cohort was 69.50 years (SD = 59.12). Regarding EGFR mutations, 52 patients (50.49%) had wild-type EGFR, 19 patients (18.45%) had EGFR Ex19Del, and 32 patients (31.07%) had the L858R mutation. Logistic regression models and competing risk Cox analyses were used to evaluate the association between S1P levels and brain metastasis.

In EGFR-mutant patients, S1P levels were independently associated with increased risk of brain metastasis (OR = 8.2, p = 0.003; HR = 105, <i>p</i> < 0.001), whereas no significant association was observed in EGFR wild-type patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that high S1P levels were linked to earlier brain metastasis in EGFR-mutant patients (<i>p</i> = 0.0034). The relationship between S1P levels and brain metastasis was not significantly influenced by the presence of bone metastasis (<i>p</i> > 0.1).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Elevated serum S1P levels are significantly associated with brain metastasis in EGFR-mutant LUAD patients.
