We conducted a detailed literature search in Medline and Embase databases and collected relevant publications written in English before April 2020. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. Basic features of patients, hazard ratios (HRs), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were retrieved to assess the correlation between pretreated blood inflammatory markers and patients with bone sarcoma. This meta-analysis used Stata 12.0.
A total of 10 studies containing 1845 cases were included for analysis. Nine of them evaluated the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), 7 the platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and 4 the lymphocyte monocyte ratio (LMR). Pooled results revealed that higher pretreatment NLR was associated with poorer OS (HR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.29-2.41, and < 0.001) and DFS (HR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.09-2.88, and = 0.021). In contrast, a lower LMR was related to worse OS (HR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.57-0.92, and = 0.009), but not DFS (HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.41-1.11, and > 0.05). Combined results did not show a significant predictive effect of PLR on the clinical outcomes of patients with bone sarcoma (OS : HR = 1.32, 95% CI: 0.99-1.75, and > 0.05; DFS: HR = 1.12, 95% CI: 0.87-1.44, > 0.05).
NLR and LMR might be promising predictive biomarkers for patients with bone sarcoma and could be used to stratify patients and provide personalized therapeutic strategies.
我们在 Medline 和 Embase 数据库中进行了详细的文献检索,并收集了 2020 年 4 月之前发表的英文相关出版物。总生存期(OS)和无病生存期(DFS)分别为主要和次要结局。我们检索了患者的基本特征、风险比(HR)和 95%置信区间(CI),以评估预处理血液炎症标志物与骨肉瘤患者之间的相关性。本荟萃分析使用了 Stata 12.0 软件。
共有 10 项研究包含 1845 例患者被纳入分析。其中 9 项评估了中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR),7 项评估了血小板与淋巴细胞比值(PLR),4 项评估了淋巴细胞与单核细胞比值(LMR)。汇总结果显示,较高的预处理 NLR 与较差的 OS(HR = 1.76,95%CI:1.29-2.41,<0.001)和 DFS(HR = 1.77,95%CI:1.09-2.88,= 0.021)相关。相比之下,较低的 LMR 与较差的 OS(HR = 0.73,95%CI:0.57-0.92,= 0.009)相关,但与 DFS 无关(HR = 0.68,95%CI:0.41-1.11,>0.05)。联合结果表明,PLR 对骨肉瘤患者的临床结局无显著预测作用(OS:HR = 1.32,95%CI:0.99-1.75,>0.05;DFS:HR = 1.12,95%CI:0.87-1.44,>0.05)。
NLR 和 LMR 可能是骨肉瘤患者有前途的预测生物标志物,可用于对患者进行分层并提供个体化的治疗策略。
