Prognostic Value of the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) in patients with bladder cancer (BCa) treated with radical cystectomy (RC) and develop a survival predictive model through establishing a nomogram.

Materials and methods

A total of 203 BCa patients who underwent RC were included in this study. The relationship between the SIRI and overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and clinicopathological features were evaluated. Cox regression analysis was performed to investigate the effect of the factors on the OS and DFS. The results were applied in the establishment of a nomogram. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, decision curve analysis (DCA) curves, and calibration curves were performed to assess the predictive performance and accuracy of the nomogram, respectively.

Results

According to the classification of the SIRI, 81 patients (39.9%) were assigned to SIRI grade 1, 94 patients (46.3%) to SIRI grade 2, and the remaining 28 patients (13.8%) to SIRI grade 3. Multivariate Cox regression revealed that a higher SIRI grade was significantly associated with a poor prognosis and served as an independent prognostic factor for the OS [Grade 2 vs Grade 1, odds ratio = 2.54, 95% confidence interval (CI),1.39-4.64, P = 0.002; Grade 3 vs Grade 1, odds ratio = 4.79, 95%CI: 2.41-9.50, P < 0.001] and DFS [Grade 2 vs Grade 1, odds ratio = 2.19, 95% CI, 1.12-4.31, P = 0.023; Grade 3 vs Grade 2, odds ratio = 3.36, 95%CI, 1.53-7.35, P = 0.002]. The ROC and DCA analysis indicated that the nomogram based on the SIRI contained a better predictive performance compared with the TNM stage (AUC = 0.750 and 0.791; all P < 0.05). The ROC analysis showed that nomograms can better predict the 3- and 5-year OS and DFS. The calibration curves exhibited a significant agreement between the nomogram and the actual observation.

Conclusion

SIRI as a novel independent prognostic index and potential prognostic biomarker can effectively improve the traditional clinicopathological analysis and optimize individualized clinical treatments for BCa patients after RC.

Project description:BackgroundBiomarkers acquired from blood samples are easy to obtain and cost-effective, have attracted considerable interest, and have been widely investigated. Inflammation plays a crucial role in cancer cell initiation, proliferation, and metastasis. We aimed to evaluate the association of the preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) with the clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with bladder cancer and who underwent radical cystectomy (RC).Materials and methodsData from patients diagnosed with bladder cancer and who underwent RC from December 2010 to May 2020 in West China Hospital were retrospectively collected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into a low-SII group and a high-SII group according to the SII level. Survival outcomes were obtained during follow-up. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Cox proportional hazard models were performed to estimate the effect of SII on OS and RFS and control for potential confoundings. Subgroup analyses were conducted, and the log likelihood ratio test was used to inspect the interaction.ResultsA total of 725 patients who underwent RC were ultimately involved in this study. Of these patients, 621 (85.66%) were men and 104 (14.34%) were women. The median age was 65 years. The median follow-up was 36 months for OS and 33.6 months for RFS. The optimal cutoff value was identified as 554.23 × 109/l. A total of 467 (64.41%) patients were divided into the low-SII group (SII <554 × 109/l), and 258 (35.59%) patients were divided into the high-SII group (SII ≥554 × 109/l) accordingly. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression demonstrated that a high SII was an independent prognostic factor for worse OS (HR: 1.69 95% CI: 1.02-2.81, P = 0.0436) and RFS (HR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.09-3.24, P = 0.0229) in NMIBC patients. A high SII was found to be an independent prognostic factor for worse RFS in patients with HBP (HR: 2.11, 95% CI: 1.34-3.30, P = 0.0012), with DM (HR: 3.76, 95% CI: 1.73-8.15, P = 0.0008), and without PNI (HR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.04-1.69, P = 0.0238).ConclusionsThe SII was a potential prognostic predictor for bladder cancer patients who underwent RC. Further prospective multicenter investigations are warranted.
