BACKGROUND: To investigate the prognostic impact of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving first-line chemotherapy. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 278 consecutive patients undergoing chemotherapy for stage III-IV NSCLC between May 2012 and July 2020. CONUT score was calculated by incorporating serum albumin, total cholesterol, and total lymphocyte count. The patients were divided into two groups: CONUT ≥ 3 and CONUT < 3, according to receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The associations of CONUT with clinicopathological factors and survival were evaluated. RESULTS: A high CONUT score was significantly associated with older age(P = 0.003), worse ECOG-PS(P = 0.018), advanced clinical stage(P = 0.006), higher systematic inflammation index (SII) (P < 0.001)and lower prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (P < 0.001).The high CONUT group had a significantly shorter progression-free survival(PFS) and overall survival(OS) than the low CONUT group. In the univariate analysis, higher SII, higher CONUT, advanced clinical stage and lower PNI were associated with worse PFS (P < 0.05). Worse ECOG-PS, higher SII, higher CONUT, advanced clinical stage and lower PNI were associated with worse OS (P < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, CONUT(HR, 2.487; 95%CI 1.818 ~ 3.403; P < 0.001) was independently associated with PFS, while PNI(HR, 0.676; 95%CI 0.494 ~ 0.927; P = 0.015) and CONUT(HR, 2.186; 95%CI 1.591 ~ 3.002; P < 0.001)were independently associated with OS. In ROC analysis, CONUT had a higher area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the prediction of 24-month PFS and OS than the SII or PNI. When the time-dependent AUC curve was used to predict PFS and OS, CONUT tended to maintain its predictive accuracy for long-term prognosis at a significantly higher level for an extended period after chemotherapy when compared with the other markers tested. The CONUT score showed better accuracy of predicting OS (C-index: 0.711) and PFS(C-index: 0.753). CONCLUSION: CONUT score is an independent prognostic indicator of poor outcomes for patients with stage III-IV NSCLC and is superior to the SII and PNI in terms of prognostic ability.
背景:本研究旨在探讨控制营养状况(CONUT)评分对接受一线化疗的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者预后的影响。
方法:我们回顾性分析了 2012 年 5 月至 2020 年 7 月期间接受化疗的 278 例 III-IV 期 NSCLC 患者的临床资料。通过血清白蛋白、总胆固醇和总淋巴细胞计数计算 CONUT 评分。根据受试者工作特征(ROC)分析,将患者分为 CONUT≥3 分和 CONUT<3 分两组。评估 CONUT 与临床病理因素和生存的关系。
结果:高 CONUT 评分与年龄较大(P=0.003)、ECOG-PS 评分较差(P=0.018)、临床分期较晚(P=0.006)、系统性炎症指数(SII)较高(P<0.001)和预后营养指数(PNI)较低(P<0.001)显著相关。高 CONUT 组的无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)明显短于低 CONUT 组。单因素分析显示,较高的 SII、较高的 CONUT、较晚的临床分期和较低的 PNI 与较差的 PFS 相关(P<0.05)。较差的 ECOG-PS、较高的 SII、较高的 CONUT、较晚的临床分期和较低的 PNI 与较差的 OS 相关(P<0.05)。多因素分析显示,CONUT(HR,2.487;95%CI 1.8183.403;P<0.001)与 PFS 独立相关,而 PNI(HR,0.676;95%CI 0.4940.927;P=0.015)和 CONUT(HR,2.186;95%CI 1.591~3.002;P<0.001)与 OS 独立相关。在 ROC 分析中,CONUT 对 24 个月 PFS 和 OS 的预测具有更高的 ROC 曲线下面积(AUC),高于 SII 或 PNI。当使用时间依赖性 AUC 曲线预测 PFS 和 OS 时,与其他测试标志物相比,CONUT 在化疗后延长时间内,能够在更长时间内保持对预后的预测准确性,从而显著提高了对长期预后的预测能力。CONUT 评分在预测 OS(C 指数:0.711)和 PFS(C 指数:0.753)方面具有更好的准确性。
结论:CONUT 评分是 III-IV 期 NSCLC 患者预后不良的独立预测指标,在预测能力方面优于 SII 和 PNI。
