To evaluate the predictive potency of a novel index combining the pan-immune-inflammatory index and hemoglobin levels (PIV/Hb) for the prevalence of radiation-induced trismus (RIT) in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (LA-NPC) receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
Data from 228 LA-NPC patients were retrospectively examined. Maximum mouth openings (MMO) were measured to confirm the presence of RIT, defined as MMOs ≤35 mm. Complete blood test results from the first day of CCRT were used to calculate PIV/Hb levels. A potential relationship between pretreatment PIV/Hb and the RIT status was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
Post-CCRT RIT was diagnosed in 20.2% of the patients. The ROC curve analysis determined 68.4 g/dL as the ideal PIV/Hb cutoff that effectively divided patients into two distinct groups (area under the curve: 94.7%; specificity: 86.4%; sensitivity: 87.4%). RIT was significantly more prevalent in the PIV/Hb > 68 group than in the PIV/Hb < 68 group (58.8% vs. 3.8%; < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a pre-CCRT PIV > 68 was independently associated with significantly higher rates of RIT.
Higher pretreatment levels of the novel PIV/Hb index predict increased RIT rates following definitive CCRT for LA-NPCs.
评估一种新的联合全身免疫炎症指数和血红蛋白水平(PIV/Hb)的指标,预测接受同期放化疗(CCRT)的局部晚期鼻咽癌(LA-NPC)患者辐射诱导的张口困难(RIT)的发生率。
回顾性分析 228 例 LA-NPC 患者的数据。通过测量最大张口度(MMO)来确认 RIT 的存在,定义为 MMOs≤35mm。从 CCRT 第一天的全血检查结果中计算出 PIV/Hb 水平。使用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析评估预处理 PIV/Hb 与 RIT 状态之间的潜在关系。
20.2%的患者在 CCRT 后被诊断为 RIT。ROC 曲线分析确定 68.4g/dL 为理想的 PIV/Hb 截断值,可将患者有效分为两组(曲线下面积:94.7%;特异性:86.4%;敏感性:87.4%)。PIV/Hb>68 组的 RIT 发生率明显高于 PIV/Hb<68 组(58.8% vs. 3.8%;<0.001)。多因素 logistic 回归分析表明,CCRT 前 PIV>68 与 RIT 发生率显著升高独立相关。
新的 PIV/Hb 指数的较高预处理水平预测了 LA-NPC 患者接受根治性 CCRT 后 RIT 发生率的增加。
