Association of prognostic nutritional index with prognostic outcomes in patients with glioma: a meta-analysis and systematic review.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
The potential link between Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) and prognosis in patients with glioma remains uncertain. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the clinical value of PNI in glioma patients by integrating all available evidence to enhance statistical power.Method
A systematic search of databases including Medline, EMBASE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library was conducted from inception to January 8, 2023 to retrieve all pertinent peer-reviewed articles. The primary outcome of the study was to examine the association between a high PNI value and overall survival, while secondary outcome included the relationship between a high PNI and progression-free survival.Results
In this meta-analysis, we included 13 retrospective studies published from 2016 to 2022, which analyzed a total of 2,712 patients. Across all studies, surgery was the primary treatment modality, with or without chemotherapy and radiotherapy as adjunct therapies. A high PNI was linked to improved overall survival (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.52 to 0.72, p < 0.00001, I2 = 25%), and this finding remained consistent even after conducting sensitivity analysis. Subgroup analyses based on ethnicity (Asian vs. non-Asian), sample size (<200 vs. >200), and source of hazard ratio (univariate vs. multivariate) yielded consistent outcomes. Furthermore, patients with a high PNI had better progression-free survival than those with a low PNI (HR=0.71, 95% CI: 0.58 to 0.88, p=0.001, I2 = 0%).Conclusion
Our meta-analysis suggested that a high PNI was associated with better overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with glioma. These findings may have important implications in the treatment of patients with glioma. Additional studies on a larger scale are necessary to investigate if integrating the index into the treatment protocol leads to improved clinical outcomes in individuals with glioma.Systematic review registration
