摘要
背景:考虑到炎症在癌症进展中的作用,系统性免疫炎症指数(SII,定义为血小板×中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞)已被认为是几种实体恶性肿瘤的新兴预后指标。然而,关于SII在有限期小细胞肺癌(LS-SCLC)患者预后价值的研究很少,SII的最佳阈值在该人群中尚不清楚。本研究通过合理的方法计算SII的最佳阈值,并探讨其与生存结局的关系。方法:回顾性分析572例LS-SCLC患者的临床资料。SII的阈值采用基于结果的方法,通过最大化log-rank检验统计量和生存差异来确定。采用连续时间依赖的受试者工作特征曲线(时间依赖的ROC曲线)来阐明SII的预测能力。结果:SII总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS)阈值均为760.6,根据SII阈值将患者分为低SII组[292例(51.0%)]和高SII组[280例(49.0%)]。12个月、24个月和36个月SII随时间变化的ROC曲线下面积分别为0.727、0.708和0.680。总中位OS和PFS分别为26.0个月[95%可信区间(CI): 23.8-28.2]和13.0个月(95% CI: 11.3-14.7)。显著改善OS [35.0 (95% CI: 30.0-40.0) vs. 19.0个月(95% CI: 17.1-20.9), pv vs. 11.0个月(95% CI: 9.9-12.1), p]结论:我们的研究表明SII升高是LS-SCLC的独立不良预后因素。
Impact of systemic immune-inflammation index and its evaluation of optimal threshold in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer: a retrospective study based on 572 cases.
Background: Given the role of inflammation in cancer progression, the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII, defined as platelet × neutrophil/lymphocyte) has been suggested as an emerging prognostic marker in several solid malignant neoplasms. However, there are few studies on the prognostic value of SII in patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC), and the optimal threshold of SII remains unclear in this population. This study calculated the optimal threshold of SII by a reasonable method and explored its association with survival outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed clinical data of 572 patients with LS-SCLC. The threshold for SII was determined using an outcome-based method by maximizing the log-rank test statistic and the survival differences. Continuous time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves (time-dependent ROC curves) were used to clarify the predictive ability of SII.
Results: The thresholds of SII for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were both 760.6, based on which patients were divided into low [292 cases (51.0%)] and high [280 cases (49.0%)] SII groups. The area under the time-dependent ROC curves of SII in 12-, 24-, and 36-months were 0.727, 0.708, and 0.680, respectively. The overall median OS and PFS were 26.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 23.8-28.2] and 13.0 months (95% CI: 11.3-14.7), respectively. Significantly improved OS [35.0 (95% CI: 30.0-40.0) vs. 19.0 months (95% CI: 17.1-20.9), P<0.001] and PFS [20.0 (95% CI: 17.3-22.7) vs. 11.0 months (95% CI: 9.9-12.1), P<0.001] was seen in the low SII group than that in the high SII group. In the multivariable survival analysis, SII remained an independent prognostic factor for OS [hazard ratio (HR): 1.699; 95% CI: 1.374-2.100; P=0.001] and PFS (HR: 1.482; 95% CI: 1.214-1.809; P<0.001).
Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that elevated SII is an independent adverse prognostic factor for LS-SCLC.
