Several studies have reported conflicting results regarding the association between sarcopenia and outcomes in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of sarcopenia in patients with DLBCL.
PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify trials exploring the association between sarcopenia and prognosis in patients with DLBCL treated with chemotherapy. A meta-analysis of overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), treatment completion, and rate of complete response (CR) was performed.
Twelve studies that involved 2,324 patients with DLBCL were included. Sarcopenia was associated with poor OS and PFS in patients with DLBCL, even after adjusting for confounders. Patients with sarcopenia had lower rates of CR and treatment completion than patients without sarcopenia.
Sarcopenia is a negative predictor of prognosis in patients with DLBCL. Additional and prospective studies investigating the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia are warranted.
多项研究报告了关于肌少症与弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)患者预后之间关联的相互矛盾的结果。本荟萃分析旨在评估肌少症在DLBCL患者中的预后价值。
检索PubMed、Embase和Cochrane图书馆数据库,以识别探索肌少症与接受化疗的DLBCL患者预后之间关联的试验。对总生存期(OS)、无进展生存期(PFS)、治疗完成情况和完全缓解率(CR)进行荟萃分析。
纳入了12项涉及2324例DLBCL患者的研究。即使在对混杂因素进行调整后,肌少症仍与DLBCL患者较差的OS和PFS相关。与无肌少症的患者相比,有肌少症的患者CR率和治疗完成率更低。
肌少症是DLBCL患者预后的负面预测因素。有必要开展更多前瞻性研究来调查肌少症的诊断标准。
