Cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) might be a useful biomarker to predict long-term mortality in patients with recent exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
A total of 87 consecutive patients with COPD were evaluated prospectively. Mean age of patients was 68 ± 10 years (55% males, 45% females) with a median follow-up period of 49 months. Optimal cut-off value of CA-125 to predict mortality was found as >93.34 U/ml, with 91% specificity and 40% sensitivity.
After follow-up, 20 out of 87 (23%) experienced cardiovascular death. CA-125 levels were higher among those who died compared to those who survived [55 (12-264) versus 28 (5-245) U/ml, p = 0.013]. In multivariate Cox proportional-hazards model with forward stepwise method, only CA-125 > 93.34 U/ml on admission (HR = 3.713, 95% CI: 1.035-13.323, p = 0.044) remained associated with an increased risk of death.
For the first time, we demonstrated that CA-125 helps the risk stratification of patients with COPD.
癌抗原125(CA - 125)可能是预测近期慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)急性加重患者长期死亡率的有用生物标志物。
前瞻性评估了连续87例COPD患者。患者的平均年龄为68±10岁(男性55%,女性45%),中位随访期为49个月。发现预测死亡率的CA - 125最佳临界值>93.34 U/ml,特异性为91%,敏感性为40%。
随访后,87例中有20例(23%)发生心血管死亡。死亡患者的CA - 125水平高于存活患者[55(12 - 264)与28(5 - 245)U/ml,p = 0.013]。在采用向前逐步法的多变量Cox比例风险模型中,仅入院时CA - 125>93.34 U/ml(HR = 3.713,95%CI:1.035 - 13.323,p = 需044)与死亡风险增加相关。
我们首次证明CA - 125有助于COPD患者的风险分层。
