Cumulative Scoring Systems and Nomograms for Predicating Survival in Patients With Glioblastomas: A Study Based on Peripheral Inflammatory Markers
Inflammation is a hallmark of cancers. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic potential of hematological inflammatory markers in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. The clinical data of 99 patients with lower-grade gliomas and 88 patients with GBMs were retrospectively a...

description | Inflammation is a hallmark of cancers. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic potential of hematological inflammatory markers in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. The clinical data of 99 patients with lower-grade gliomas and 88 patients with GBMs were retrospectively analyzed. The optimal cutoff values for peripheral markers were determined by X-tile. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to identify markers with prognostic significance. Several scoring systems were constructed by combining these prognostic markers. The predictive accuracies of nomograms incorporating these scoring systems were evaluated by Harrell’s concordance index and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. GBM patients exhibited higher neutrophil counts (p=0.001), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (p<0.001), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (p=0.001), as well as lower lymphocyte counts (p=0.023), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) (p=0.015), and albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) (p=0.003) than those with lower-grade gliomas. Multivariate analysis indicated that a high NLR (> 2.0) (Hazard ratio[HR]=2.519, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.220-5.204, p=0.013), low LMR (< 2.3) (HR=2.268, 95%CI: 1.172-4.386, p=0.015), or low AGR (< 1.7) (HR=2.924, 95%CI: 1.389-6.135, p=0.005) were associated with poor overall survival in GBM patients. The scoring systems of AGR-NLR, AGR-LMR, and LMR-NLR were associated with GBM survival. The nomogram integrating AGR-NLR score had the best efficacy in predicting GBM survival (c-index=0.874). Pretreatment scores of AGR-NLR, AGR-LMR, and LMR-NLR may serve as prognostic factors for GBM patients, and a nomogram integrating AGR-NLR may provide a reliable tool to facilitate personalized preoperative evaluations. |
