Prothrombin time (PT) can predict survival in several types of malignancies. This study aims to investigate the predictive values of PT levels in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
We retrospectively analyzed the PT from 86 CCA patients who underwent curative resection in our hospital from December 2008 to August 2017. The relationship between PT and survival times was analyzed through univariate and multivariate analyses (Cox proportional hazards model). Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test were used to assess the effects of PT on overall survival (OS) and tumor recurrence-free survival (RFS).
Increased PT level was an effective predictor for OS (P = 0.021; hazard ratio (HR), 1.799) and RFS (P = 0.016; HR, 1.871) in CCA patients, independent of age, tumor differentiation, and TNM stage. In the low PT level group (PT < 12.3 s), patients showed a higher mean OS (23.03 m vs. 14.38 m, P = 0.0250) and RFS (17.78 m vs. 8.30 m, P = 0.0511) than those with high PT levels (PT ≥ 12.3 s). A highly significant association was observed between high PT level and shortened OS (P = 0.0373) and worse RFS (P = 0.0151).
Preoperative increase in PT can serve as a simple but effective predictor of poor survival in CCA patients who undergo curative surgeries.
凝血酶原时间(PT)可预测多种恶性肿瘤的生存情况。本研究旨在探讨 PT 水平在胆管癌(CCA)患者中的预测价值。
我们回顾性分析了 2008 年 12 月至 2017 年 8 月在我院接受根治性切除术的 86 例 CCA 患者的 PT。通过单因素和多因素分析(Cox 比例风险模型)分析 PT 与生存时间的关系。Kaplan-Meier 曲线和对数秩检验用于评估 PT 对总生存(OS)和肿瘤无复发生存(RFS)的影响。
PT 水平升高是 CCA 患者 OS(P = 0.021;风险比(HR),1.799)和 RFS(P = 0.016;HR,1.871)的有效预测因子,独立于年龄、肿瘤分化和 TNM 分期。在低 PT 水平组(PT < 12.3 s)中,患者的 OS(23.03 m 比 14.38 m,P = 0.0250)和 RFS(17.78 m 比 8.30 m,P = 0.0511)均高于高 PT 水平组(PT ≥ 12.3 s)。高 PT 水平与缩短 OS(P = 0.0373)和较差的 RFS(P = 0.0151)之间存在显著相关性。
术前 PT 升高可作为接受根治性手术的 CCA 患者生存不良的简单而有效的预测指标。
