The correlation of the AGR with survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards models.The cutoff value of the AGR was 1.45 according to the receiver operating characteristic curve.Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients with a low AGR (<1.45)had poor outcomes in terms of progression-free survival (PFS)and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Multivariate Cox analyses showed that the AGR was an independent predictor of PFS (hazard ratio [HR]=0.642;95%confidence interval [CI]:0.430-0.957;P=0.030)and CSS (HR =0.412;95%CI:0.259-0.654;P<0.001).Furthermore,in a subset of 79 patients with normal serum albumin levels (≥40.0 g l^-1),the serum AGR remained an independent predictor of CSS (P=0.009). The pretreatment AGR was an independent prognostic biomarker for PFS and CSS in patients with mPCa receiving MAB.In addition,the AGR remained effective for the prediction of CSS in patients with normal albumin levels (≥40 g l^-1).However,further prospective studies are needed to confirm our conclusions.展开更多

文摘结直肠癌是消化道中较为常见的恶性肿瘤,其目前多采用手术切除的方式进行治疗,术后吻合口漏(anastomotic leakage,AL)是外科手术常见感染性并发症。术后发生AL会影响患者预期化学治疗时间,增加患者经济负担及二次手术可能,延长住院时长,加剧医患矛盾等。炎症指标可用于AL的早期预测,便于临床科室给予治疗方案。降钙素原(procalcitonin,PCT)是具有广泛生物学活性的多效性蛋白质,在结直肠癌术后AL的预测或排除中有重要作用,C-反应蛋白/血清白蛋白比值(C-reactive protein/serum albumin ratio,CAR)是反映全身炎症、免疫水平和营养状态的重要指标。二者均在早期对AL的预测有效,二者的联合应用可能存在更大的预测价值。
