Abstract:
Background:This study aimed to assess the overall survival (OS) of patients after high-grade glio-ma (HGG) resection and to search for associated prognostic factors.
Methods:A random sample of ad hoc cases was extracted from the French medico-adminis-trative national database, Système National des Données de Santé (SNDS). We solely considered the patients who received chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ/RT) after HGG surgery. Statistical survival methods were implemented.
Results:A total of 1,438 patients who had HGG resection at 58 different institutions between2008 and 2019 were identified. Of these, 34.8% were female, and the median age at HGG resection was 63.2 years (interquartile range [IQR], 55.6–69.4 years). Median OS was 1.69 years (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.63–1.76), i.e., 20.4 months. Median age at death was 65.5 years (IQR, 58.5–71.8). OS at 1, 2, and 5 years was 78.5% (95% CI, 76.4–80.7), 40.3% (95% CI, 37.9–43), and 11.8% (95% CI, 10.2–13.6), respectively. In the adjusted Cox regression, female gender (HR=0.71; 95% CI, 0.63– 0.79; p<0.001), age at HGG surgery (HR=1.02; 95% CI, 1.02–1.03; p<0.001), TMZ treatment over 6 months after HGG surgery (HR=0.36; 95% CI, 0.32–0.4; p<0.001), bevacizumab (HR=1.22; 95% CI, 1.09–1.37; p<0.001), and redo surgery (HR=0.79; 95% CI, 0.67–0.93; p=0.005) remained significantly associated with the outcome.
Conclusion:The SNDS is a reliable source for studying the outcome of HGG patients. OS is better in younger patient, female gender, and those who complete concomitant chemoradiotherapy. Redo surgery for HGG recurrence was also associated with prolonged survival.
