CD5-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a clinically rare subtype of DLBCL with aggressive clinical manifestations and a poor prognosis. It has been demonstrated that the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), an indicator of nutritional status and systemic inflammation, is a significant prognostic factor for several types of lymphoma. The objective of this multicenter retrospective study was to explore the prognostic value of the PNI in patients with CD5-positive DLBCL.
In total, 207 patients with CD5-positive DLBCL were recruited from 11 centers of the Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group. Maximally selected rank statistics analysis was used to identify optimal cutoff points for the PNI. A Cox proportional hazards model was used for univariable and multivariable analyses. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves, and the log-rank test was used to compare differences between groups.
The median age at diagnosis was 61 years, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 47.5%. According to the maximally selected rank statistics analysis, a score of 49.7 was the optimal cutoff point for the PNI. Subgroup analysis showed that the PNI could re-stratify patients in BCL-2-negative, MYC-negative, high-intermediate-risk and high-risk International Prognostic Index, BCL-6-positive and BCL-6-negative, high Ki-67 score (≥0.9), Ann Arbor stage III/IV, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≥2, and germinal center B subgroups. Multivariable analysis revealed that PNI, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, albumin level, and red blood cell count were independent prognostic factors for CD5-positive DLBCL.
The PNI was a significant prognostic indicator for CD5-positive DLBCL and was able to re-stratify the prognosis for clinicopathologic subgroups of patients with CD5-positive DLBCL.
CD5 阳性弥漫性大 B 细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)是一种临床罕见的 DLBCL 亚型,具有侵袭性临床表现和不良预后。已证实,预后营养指数(PNI)是一种反映营养状态和全身炎症的指标,是多种淋巴瘤的重要预后因素。本多中心回顾性研究的目的是探讨 PNI 在 CD5 阳性 DLBCL 患者中的预后价值。
本研究共纳入 11 家淮海淋巴瘤工作组中心的 207 例 CD5 阳性 DLBCL 患者。采用最大选择秩检验分析确定 PNI 的最佳截断点。采用 Cox 比例风险模型进行单因素和多因素分析。Kaplan-Meier 曲线计算生存率并绘制生存曲线,对数秩检验比较组间差异。
诊断时的中位年龄为 61 岁,5 年总生存率为 47.5%。根据最大选择秩检验分析,PNI 得分为 49.7 分为最佳截断点。亚组分析显示,PNI 可重新分层 BCL-2 阴性、MYC 阴性、高-中危国际预后指数、BCL-6 阳性和 BCL-6 阴性、高 Ki-67 评分(≥0.9)、Ann Arbor 分期 III/IV、ECOG 体能状态≥2 和生发中心 B 亚组。多因素分析显示,PNI、年龄、ECOG 体能状态、白蛋白水平和红细胞计数是 CD5 阳性 DLBCL 的独立预后因素。
PNI 是 CD5 阳性 DLBCL 的重要预后指标,可重新分层 CD5 阳性 DLBCL 患者的临床病理亚组的预后。
