A clinical study of the prognostic value of modified Glasgow prognostic score in patients with gas- tric cancer / 临床外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of modified Glasgow prognostic score(mGPS)in patients with gastric cancer.Methods The clinical data of 600 patients with gastric cancerwho underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively reviewed.These patients were divided into themGPS0 group,mGPS1 group,and mGPS2 group according to the standard of mGPS.Postoperative survivals and risk factors that may affect patient's prognosis were analyzed among the three groups.Results There were 46 (7.7%)cases,33 (5.5%)cases and 521 (86.8%)cases in the mGPS0,mGPS1 andmGPS2 group,respectively.Except for gender(P =0.203),age,BMI,CEA,CA199,CRP,Alb,TNM stageand mGPS affected the over all survivals and there were significant differences among the groups(P <0.01).Gender,age,BMI,CEA,CA199 and TNM stage affected the mGPS and there were significantdifferences among the groups(P <0.01).Multivariate analysis identified that age(OR,1.319,95% CI1.068,1.629,P <0.01),TNMstage(OR,2.909,95% CI 2.616,3.234,P <0.01)and mGPS(OR,1.845,95% CI 1.184,2.875,P =0.007)were correlated with the postoperative death rate and they wererisk factors of poor postoperative prognosis(P <0.01).Conclusion mGPS can be used as an early,simple and effective prognostic predictor of postoperative survival for patients with gastric cancer.
