BACKGROUND/AIM: Albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade is an indicator of liver dysfunction and is useful for predicting postoperative prognosis of hepatocellular carcinomas. However, the significance of ALBI grade in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) has not been elucidated.
We analyzed 947 patients with pStage IA-IIIA NSCLC. We divided patients into ALBI grade 1 and grade 2/3 groups. We then analyzed the association of ABLI grade with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis in NSCLC by using propensity-score matching.
ALBI grade 2/3 was significantly associated with older age, male sex, advanced pT status, and histological type. Even after propensity-score matching, ALBI grade 2/3 patients had significantly worse cancer-specific survival (CSS) than ALBI grade 1 patients (5-year CSS: 87.3% versus 92.8%; p=0.0247). In multivariate analysis, ALBI grade 2/3 was an independent predictor of CSS (HR=1.9; 95%CI=1.11-3.11; p=0.0177).

背景/目的:白蛋白-胆红素(ALBI)分级是肝功能的指标,可用于预测肝细胞癌的术后预后。然而,ALBI 分级在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中的意义尚未阐明。
我们分析了 947 例 pStage IA-IIIA NSCLC 患者。我们将患者分为 ALBI 分级 1 组和 2/3 组。然后,我们通过倾向评分匹配分析了 ALBI 分级与 NSCLC 的临床病理特征和预后的关系。
ALBI 分级 2/3 与年龄较大、男性、较晚的 pT 分期和组织学类型显著相关。即使在进行倾向评分匹配后,ALBI 分级 2/3 组的患者癌症特异性生存率(CSS)明显低于 ALBI 分级 1 组(5 年 CSS:87.3% vs. 92.8%;p=0.0247)。多因素分析显示,ALBI 分级 2/3 是 CSS 的独立预后因素(HR=1.9;95%CI=1.11-3.11;p=0.0177)。
