Abstract:
Objective:To assess the predictive value of aspartate aminotransferase-to-alanine amino-transferase ratio (DRR) on overall survival of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who underwent radical pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 137 patients who underwent radical pancreaticoduodenectomy and were diagnosed with PDAC postoperatively at the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020. There were 97 male and 40 female patients, with an average age of (58±10) years old. The patients were grouped according to the optimal survival risk cutoff value of DRR, and the differences in key clinical and pathological indicators between the groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and log-rank test was used for comparison of survival rates. Multivariate Cox analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic factors affecting survival.Results:The 137 PDAC patients were divided into two groups based on the optimal cutoff value of DRR, namely 1.1: DRR≥1.1 was defined as the high-DRR group ( n=29), and DRR<1.1 was defined as the low-DRR group ( n=108). The cumulative survival rate of the low-DRR group was better than that of the high-DRR group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.003). The results of the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that DRR≥1.1 ( HR=2.485, 95% CI: 1.449-4.261, P=0.001), preoperative biliary drainage ( HR=1.845, 95% CI: 1.030-3.306, P=0.039), lymph node metastasis N2 stage ( HR=2.240, 95% CI: 1.123-4.470, P=0.022), high tumor differentiation ( HR=2.001, 95% CI: 1.279-3.129, P=0.002), and intravascular cancer emboli ( HR=2.240, 95% CI: 1.123-4.470, P=0.022) were risk factors for poor overall survival in PDAC patients who underwent radical pancreaticoduodenectomy. Conclusion:DRR has predictive value for overall survival after surgery in PDAC patients undergoing radical pancreatoduodenectomy. A DRR of 1.1 or greater is a risk factor for poor overall survival after surgery in PDAC patients.
