Abstract:
Objective:To compare the prognostic value of two predictive models based on C-reactive protein(CRP)and albumin(ALB),namely the CRP to ALB ratio(CAR)and the Glasgow prognostic score(GPS),in newly diagnosed patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:The data of newly diagnosed DLBCL patients admitted to our center from May 2014 to January 2022 were reviewed.A total of 111 patients who completed at least 4 cycles of R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like chemotherapy with detailed clinical,laboratory data and follow-up information were included.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was performed to evaluate the predictive value of pre-treatment CAR on disease progression and survival.Furthermore,the association between CAR and baseline clinical,laboratory characteristics of patients was evaluated,and progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)were compared between different CAR and GPS subgroups.Finally,the univariate and multivariate COX propor-tional hazard regression models were used to analyze the factors affecting disease outcomes.Results:ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of CAR predicting PFS and OS in DLBCL patients was 0.687(P=0.002)and 0.695(P=0.005),respectively,with the optimal cut-off value of 0.11 for both predicting PFS and OS.Compared with the lower CAR(＜0.11)group,the higher CAR(≥0.11)group had more clinical risk factors,including age＞60 years(P=0.025),ECOG score ≥2(P=0.004),Lugano stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ(P＜0.001),non-germinal center B-cell-like(non-GCB)subtype(P=0.035),elevated lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)(P＜0.001),extranodal involved site＞1(P=0.004)and IPI score＞2(P＜0.001).The interim response evaluation of patients showed that the overall response rate(ORR)and complete response rate(CRR)in the lower CAR group were both significantly better than those in the higher CAR group(ORR:96.9％vs 80.0％,P=0.035;CRR:63.6％vs 32.5％,P=0.008).With a median follow-up of 24 months,patients with lower CAR had significantly longer median PFS and OS than those with higher CAR(median PFS:not reached vs 67 months,P=0.0026;median OS:not reached vs 67 months,P=0.002),while there was no statistical difference in PFS(P=0.11)and OS(P=0.11)in patients with GPS of 0,1,and 2.Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that only sex(male)and IPI score＞2 were independent risk factors for both PFS and OS.Conclusion:CAR is significantly correlated with disease progression and survival in DLBCL patients;And compared with GPS,CAR has more advantages in predicting disease outcomes in DLBCL patients.
