Sumario:Background: Findings from previous studies regarding the association between the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were limited. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of GPS in patients with advanced NSCLC after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in 494 patients with advanced NSCLC between 2009 and 2019. Clinicopathological characteristics (including GPS) were analyzed to determine predictors of OS using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Of the enrolled patients with advanced NSCLC, 66.46% were men and 53.85% were aged <60 years. The percentages of GPS scores of 0, 1, and 2 were 36.44%, 36.03%, and 27.53%, respectively. The median OS of the GPS 0, 1, and 2 groups were 23.27, 14.37, and 10.27 months, respectively (log-rank P <0.0001). A higher GPS was independently associated with an increased risk of death (P for trend = 0.0004) after full adjustment for potential confounders. The risk of death increased by 77% in the GPS 1 group (hazard ratio [HR]=1.77, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.22-2.57, P=0.0027) and 109% in the GPS 2 group (HR=2.09, 95%CI=1.36-3.22, P=0.0008) compared with the GPS 0 group after adjustment. We did not find significant heterogeneity among the analyzed subgroups apart from sex (P interaction=0.017). Conclusion: High pretreatment GPS is independently associated with worse OS in patients with advanced NSCLC. GPS should be considered in patient counseling and decision-making and needs to be further validated by large-cohort and prospective studies.
