Hypertension is a risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The effect of anti-hypertensive drugs on the prognosis of CCA is not clear.
This is a retrospective study of 102 patients (56.9% males, median age 66 years) diagnosed with CCA and hypertension concurrently and received radical surgery (R0), with a median follow-up of 36.7 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis, Cox regressions, and propensity score (PS) matching were applied for statistical analysis.
Results of multivariable cox analysis showed that renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASis) usage was a protective factor for progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.55, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.32-0.96) and overall survival (OS) (HR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.20-0.79), respectively. Calcium channel blockers, diuretics, and β-blockers didn't show significant associations. The association of RASis usage and PFS and OS was derived by PS matching, with a cohort of 28 RASis users and 56 RASis non-users. The median PFS and OS of RASis users (PFS, 17.6 months (9.2-34.4); OS, 24.8 months (16.5-42.3)) were longer than RASis non-users (PFS, 10.5 months (4.1-24.1); OS, 14.6 months (10.6-28.4)). The 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years' survival rates of RASis users (89.1%, 77.0%, and 65.5%) were higher than RASis non-users (70.9%, 54.0%, and 40.0%).
RASis usage improves the survival of patients with CCA and hypertension concurrently.
高血压是胆管癌(CCA)的一个危险因素。降压药物对 CCA 预后的影响尚不清楚。
这是一项回顾性研究,纳入了 102 例(男性占 56.9%,中位年龄 66 岁)同时诊断为 CCA 和高血压并行根治性手术(R0)的患者,中位随访时间为 36.7 个月。采用 Kaplan-Meier 分析、Cox 回归和倾向评分(PS)匹配进行统计学分析。
多变量 Cox 分析结果显示,血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂(ACEI)/血管紧张素受体阻滞剂(ARB)的使用是无进展生存期(PFS)(风险比 [HR] = 0.55,95%置信区间 [95%CI]:0.32-0.96)和总生存期(OS)(HR = 0.40,95%CI:0.20-0.79)的保护因素。钙通道阻滞剂、利尿剂和β受体阻滞剂与 PFS 和 OS 无显著相关性。PS 匹配后得出 ACEI/ARB 使用与 PFS 和 OS 的相关性,有 28 名 ACEI/ARB 使用者和 56 名 ACEI/ARB 非使用者。ACEI/ARB 使用者的中位 PFS 和 OS 更长(PFS,17.6 个月(9.2-34.4);OS,24.8 个月(16.5-42.3)),而非 ACEI/ARB 使用者的中位 PFS 和 OS 更短(PFS,10.5 个月(4.1-24.1);OS,14.6 个月(10.6-28.4))。ACEI/ARB 使用者的 1 年、2 年和 3 年生存率(89.1%、77.0%和 65.5%)高于 ACEI/ARB 非使用者(70.9%、54.0%和 40.0%)。
ACEI/ARB 的使用改善了同时患有 CCA 和高血压患者的生存情况。
