The present meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of myosteatosis on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with pancreatic cancer (PC). A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases. The hazard ratio (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between myosteatosis and survival outcomes were pooled using a random-effects model. A total of 14 studies were included. The pooled analysis demonstrated that myosteatosis was significantly associated to poorer OS (HR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.35-1.67, < 0.001; = 0%). The subgroup analysis revealed consistent results across various study characteristics, including geographic regions, cancer stages, follow-up durations, and study quality. In addition, myosteatosis was associated to worse PFS (HR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.15-1.57, < 0.001; = 34%). The present meta-analysis indicates that myosteatosis is associated to significantly worse OS and PFS in patients with PC.
本荟萃分析旨在评估肌脂肪变性对胰腺癌(PC)患者总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS)的影响。在Medline、科学网和Embase数据库中进行了全面的文献检索。使用随机效应模型汇总肌脂肪变性与生存结果之间关联的风险比(HR)及相应的95%置信区间(CI)。共纳入14项研究。汇总分析表明,肌脂肪变性与较差的OS显著相关(HR:1.50,95%CI:1.35 - 1.67,<0.001;I² = 0%)。亚组分析显示,在包括地理区域、癌症分期、随访时间和研究质量等各种研究特征中,结果一致。此外,肌脂肪变性与较差的PFS相关(HR:1.34,95%CI:1.15 - 1.57,<0.001;I² = 34%)。本荟萃分析表明,肌脂肪变性与PC患者显著更差的OS和PFS相关。
