To explore the influence of lymphocyte / monocyte ratio (LMR), LMR/lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) ratio on the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Clinical data of 107 newly diagnosed patients with DLBCL, including age, sex, stage, B symptoms, IPI score, ECOG score, absolute lymphocyte count, absolute value of monocytes, the ratio of lymphocyte to monocyte(LMR), LDH, LMR/LDH, and SUVmax detected by FDG-PET/CT were analyzed. The best cut-off points of LMR and LMR/LDH were determined by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve; the chi-square test was used to analyze the correlation of clinical factors with LMR and LMR/LDH; Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the correlation between serum LDH level and SUVmax; the Kaplan-Meier protocol was used to compare the overall survival (OS) rate and progression-free survival (PFS) rate between LMR and LMR/LDH groups; the Cox proportional risk model was used to carry out the multivariate analysis of prognostic factors.
The optimal limit value for LMR and LMR/LDH (%) determined by ROC curve was 2.535 (P<0.05) and 0.35% (P<0.01) respectively. Patients with an LMR<2.535 had a higher incidence of advanced Ann Arbor stage, B symptoms, higher IPI score, higher ECOG score, and elevated LDH level, while patients with LMR/LDH 0.35% had the same trend as patients with LMR <2.535. A significant positive correlation between serum LDH and SUVmax was observed by Spearman correlation analysis (P<0.001). K-M survival analysis showed that the PFS rate and OS rate in high LMR group were significantly better than that in the low LMR group (P<0.05). K-M analysis showed that the PFS rate and OS rate in high LMR/LDH group were statistical significantly better than that in low LMR/LDH group (P<0.05). Multivariate COX analysis showed that the predictive value in LMR/LDH was much better than single LMR, which may be an independent prognostic factor for patients with DLBCL.
At the initial diagnosis, high LMR/LDH suggests that DLBCL patient is a better prognosis.
探讨淋巴细胞/单核细胞比值(LMR)、LMR/乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)比值对弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤患者预后的影响。
分析107例新诊断的弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤患者的临床资料,包括年龄、性别、分期、B症状、国际预后指数(IPI)评分、美国东部肿瘤协作组(ECOG)评分、淋巴细胞绝对计数、单核细胞绝对值、淋巴细胞与单核细胞比值(LMR)、LDH、LMR/LDH以及通过氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(FDG-PET/CT)检测的最大标准摄取值(SUVmax)。通过受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线确定LMR和LMR/LDH的最佳截断点;采用卡方检验分析临床因素与LMR和LMR/LDH的相关性;采用Spearman相关性分析确定血清LDH水平与SUVmax之间的相关性;采用Kaplan-Meier法比较LMR和LMR/LDH分组之间的总生存率(OS)和无进展生存率(PFS);采用Cox比例风险模型对预后因素进行多因素分析。
ROC曲线确定的LMR和LMR/LDH(%)的最佳限值分别为2.535(P<0.05)和0.35%(P<0.01)。LMR<2.535的患者Ann Arbor分期晚期、B症状、IPI评分较高和ECOG评分较高以及LDH水平升高的发生率较高,而LMR/LDH<0.35%的患者与LMR<2.535的患者具有相同趋势。Spearman相关性分析显示血清LDH与SUVmax之间存在显著正相关(P<0.001)。K-M生存分析显示,高LMR组的PFS率和OS率显著优于低LMR组(P<0.05)。K-M分析显示,高LMR/LDH组的PFS率和OS率在统计学上显著优于低LMR/LDH组(P<0.05)。多因素COX分析显示,LMR/LDH的预测价值优于单一LMR,可能是弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤患者的独立预后因素。
在初诊时,高LMR/LDH提示弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤患者预后较好。
