Li L, Shou L. Prognostic and clinicopathological significance of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score in patients with lymphoma: a meta-analysis. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e078320. [PMID: 38453197 PMCID: PMC10921528 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-078320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The role of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) scores in predicting the prognosis of lymphoma cases has been extensively explored, with no consistent results. The present meta-analysis focused on accurately evaluating whether CONUT could be used to predict the prognosis of lymphoma cases and its clinicopathological value. DESIGN The present meta-analysis was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The prognostic significance of CONUT to overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in lymphoma was estimated by calculating pooled HRs with 95% CIs. The relationship between CONUT and clinicopathological characteristics was measured based on pooled ORs with 95% CIs. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were comprehensively searched from inception through 24 March 2023. STATISTICAL METHODS Either a random-effects model or a fixed-effects model was selected depending on the level of heterogeneity among the included studies. RESULTS This meta-analysis enrolled seven articles, containing 2060 patients with lymphoma. According to the pooled analysis, a higher CONUT score significantly predicted poor OS (HR=1.94, 95% CI 1.46 to 2.57, p<0.001) as well as poorer PFS (HR=1.51, 95% CI 1.04 to 2.20, p=0.031). Furthermore, according to the combined analysis, a higher CONUT score was significantly associated with Ann Arbor stages III-IV (OR=3.75, 95% CI 2.96 to 4.75, p<0.001), an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 2-4 (OR=5.14, 95% CI 3.97 to 6.65, p<0.001), high-intermediate/high National Comprehensive Cancer Network International Prognostic Index (OR=8.05, 95% CI 5.11 to 12.66, p<0.001), B symptoms (OR=4.97, 95% CI 2.89 to 8.52, p<0.001), extranodal disease (OR=3.25, 95% CI 2.24 to 4.70, p<0.001), bone marrow involvement (OR=4.86, 95% CI 3.25 to 7.27, p<0.001) and elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels (OR=3.21, 95% CI 2.37 to 4.34, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS According to our results, higher CONUT scores were significantly associated with poor OS and PFS in lymphoma.

Abstract
Predicting prognosis is crucial in older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study evaluated the prognostic impact of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, a simple nutritional index, for older DLBCL patients (≥65 years of age) treated with R-CHOP-like regimens in a retrospective, cohort study including 203 patients. The CONUT score was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (hazard ratio 1.11, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.21, p = 0.032) in a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. On receiver-operating characteristic analysis, the optimal cutoff value was 3. The CONUT score (≥3 or <3) effectively stratified older DLBCL patients, regardless of the International Prognostic Index (p = 0.71 for interaction). Further, the CONUT score independently affected initial dose intensity (odds ratio 0.84, 95% CI 0.73-0.95, p = 0.008), likely reflecting the patients' status at diagnosis and affecting dose adjustments. In conclusion, the CONUT score is associated with a poorer prognosis in older DLBCL patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Lymphoma is the most frequent hematological malignancy with wide disease spectrum of watchful waiting period, active treatment, survivorship, and palliative care. All these steps impose unmet needs in terms of prevention, symptom alleviation, or prognosis. Complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) is widely used by patients with lymphoma to cope with such issues. Here, we describe the different CIM modalities that may be effective and safe for the management of patients with lymphoma. RECENT FINDINGS Low inflammatory diet and ginseng seem effective for lymphoma prevention. Pain and neuropathy may be improved using acupuncture, touch therapy and specific dietary supplements. Nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and insomnia may be relieved by acupuncture, mind-body, touch therapy, and certain dietary supplements. Vitamin D, curcumin, and some traditional medicine herbs may positively impact lymphoma prognosis. Finally, safety issues should be considered especially for the concomitant use of dietary supplements and lymphoma-directed therapies. CIM may be beneficial along the continuum of lymphoma management although safety concerns should be considered when used concomitantly with conventional therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the prognostic value of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has been reported in several previous studies, its clinical relevance for the presence of sarcopenia has not been assessed. METHODS In this study, 305 DLBCL patients were reviewed. They were categorized into normal/mild (n = 219) and moderate/severe (n = 86) CONUT groups. Sarcopenia was assessed using the L3-skeletal muscle index measured by baseline computed tomography imaging. Based on CONUT score and sarcopenia, patients were grouped: A (normal/mild CONUT and no sarcopenia), B (either moderate/severe CONUT or sarcopenia, but not both), and C (both moderate/severe CONUT and sarcopenia). RESULTS The moderate/severe CONUT group showed higher rates of ≥ grade 3 febrile neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, non-hematologic toxicities, and early treatment discontinuation not related to disease progression, compared to the normal/mild CONUT group. The moderate/severe CONUT group had a lower complete response rate (58.1% vs. 80.8%) and shorter median overall survival (18.5 vs. 162.6 months) than the normal/mild group. Group C had the poorest prognosis with a median survival of 8.6 months, while groups A and B showed better outcomes (not reached and 60.1 months, respectively). Combining CONUT score and sarcopenia improved the predictive accuracy of the Cox regression model (C-index: 0.763), compared to the performance of using either CONUT score (C-index: 0.754) or sarcopenia alone (C-index: 0.755). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the moderate/severe CONUT group exhibited treatment intolerance, lower response, and poor prognosis. Additionally, combining CONUT score and sarcopenia enhanced predictive accuracy for survival outcomes compared to individual variables.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinicians can appropriately terminate treatment or reduce treatment intensity by determining prognostic factors of end-of-life chemotherapy. In particular, it provides important information for patients with hematological malignancies who receive chemotherapy until near-the-end of life compared with patients with solid tumors. This study aimed to clarify whether existing prognostic tools are associated with the survival in patients with end-of-life hematological malignancies who received chemotherapy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 247 patients diagnosed with hematological malignancies and died at our university hospital hematology ward between May 2015 and May 2021. We performed multivariate analysis in 82 (33.2%) patients who received end-of-life chemotherapy using the Palliative Prognostic Index (PPI) and inflammation-based prognostic models, such as the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), and Controlling Nutrition Status (CONUT). RESULTS On comparing 82 patients who received end-of-life chemotherapy with 165 patients who did not, the proportion of patients with PPI group A, GPS score = 0, and CONUT normal/mild was significantly higher among patients who received chemotherapy. In multivariate analysis, we identified PPI groups B (2.0 < PPI ≤ 4.0) and C (PPI > 4.0) [hazard ratio (HR) 2.1290, 95% CI 1.1830-3.828, P = .01166, respectively] and age ≥ 65 years (HR 2.0170, 95% CI 1.1280-3.607, P = .01805) were associated with overall survival. CONCLUSION PPI use and age were independent associating factors for patients with hematological malignancies receiving end-of-life chemotherapy. PPI, a popular prognostic tool may be helpful for patients and hematologists to make decisions about end-of-life care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score is a nutritional index that combines serum albumin, total cholesterol, and lymphocyte counts. The potential value of CONUT score for predicting clinical outcomes in patients with nasal-type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) has not been explored. METHODS This study included 374 ENKTL patients treated with asparaginase-containing regimens from September 2012 to September 2017. Clinical characteristics, treatment efficacy, prognostic factors, and the predictive value of CONUT score were analyzed. RESULTS The complete response (CR) and overall response rate (ORR) were 54.8% and 74.6%, respectively. Patients with CONUT scores <2 had higher CR and ORR compared to patients with scores ≥2 (69.1% vs. 48.9% for CR, p = 0.001; 90.0% vs. 74.6% for ORR, p < 0.001). The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 61.9% and 57.3%, respectively. Patients with CONUT scores <2 had better survival outcomes than those with scores ≥2 (5-year OS, 76.1% vs. 56.0%, p < 0.001; 5-year PFS, 74.4% vs. 50.1%, p < 0.001). CONUT score ≥2 was identified as an independent poor prognostic factor for both OS and PFS. A CONUT score ≥2 was also associated with poorer survival outcomes in low-risk ENKTL patients. CONCLUSION A CONUT score ≥2 is a prognostic marker for poor survival in patients with ENKTL and could be used to stratify risk in low-risk patients.

Abstract
Blood cancers are a group of diseases with thus far frequently poor prognosis. Although many new drugs, including target therapies, have been developed in recent years, there is still a need to expand our therapeutic armamentarium to better deal with these diseases. Integrative hematology was conceived as a discipline that enriches the patient's therapeutic possibilities with the use of supplements, vitamins and a nutritional approach aiming at improving the response to therapies and the clinical outcome. We will analyze the substances that have proved most useful in preclinical and clinical studies in some of the most frequent blood diseases or in those where these studies are more numerous; the importance of the nutritional approach and the role of the intestinal microbiota will also be emphasized.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the predictive value of nutritional status on the prognosis of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection-related lymphoma.Materials and methodsA total of 149 patients with HIV infection-related lymphoma who were admitted to our hospital from August 2012 to May 2022 were selected as research subjects. Based on the patient prognosis, they were divided into a poor prognosis group (n = 30) and a good prognosis group (n = 119). General data from patients in both groups were collected, and the nutritional status of the patients was evaluated using the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score. Factors affecting the prognosis of HIV infection-related lymphoma were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses, and a prediction model was developed based on the analyzed factors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the prediction model of the CONUT score alone and included the CONUT score in the prognosis of patients with HIV infection-related lymphoma. The predictive value of the data was assessed, and a survival curve was drawn to compare the survival of patients with different nutritional statuses.ResultsThere were significant differences in age, B symptoms, treatment conditions, International Prognostic Index (IPI), pathological stage, Eastern Collaborative Tumor Group physical status score (ECOG PS), CD4+ cell count, β2 microglobulin, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) between the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group (p < 0.05). The CONUT score of the poor prognosis group was higher than that of the good prognosis group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). A univariate analysis demonstrated that the age, B symptoms, treatment status, IPI, pathological stage, ECOG PS, CD4+ cell count, β2 microglobulin, LDH, and CONUT score were prognostic factors for patients with HIV infection-related lymphoma (p < 0.05). The results of a multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that the age, B symptoms, treatment status, IPI, pathological stage, ECOG PS, and CONUT score were independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with HIV infection-related lymphoma (p < 0.05). The prediction model was constructed according to the multivariate Cox regression analysis results. The model formula was as follows: Logit(p) = −10.687 + 1.728 × age + 1.713 × B symptoms + 1.682 × treatment status + 1.810 × IPI + 1.643 × pathological stage + 1.584 × ECOG PS + 1.779 × CONUT score. The ROC curve was used to analyze the predictive value of the CONUT score alone and the predictive model including the CONUT score on the prognosis of patients with HIV infection-related lymphoma. The predictive value of the prognosis of patients with tumors was higher (p < 0.05). According to the results of the ROC curve analysis, the patients were divided into a high CONUT group (CONUT > 6.00 points, n = 31) and a low CONUT group (CONUT ≤ 6.00 points, n = 118) based on the Optimum threshold of the CONUT score. The survival curve showed that the survival rate of the high CONUT group was lower than that of the low CONUT group (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe poor prognosis of HIV infection-related lymphoma is related to nutritional status, which is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients and can be used as a practical indicator to predict the prognosis of patients.

Abstract
BackgroundAn increasing number of studies have validated the prognostic significance of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in patients with solid tumors. However, the extent of the correlation between the CONUT score and clinical outcomes of patients with hematologic malignancies is unclear.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the prognostic role of the CONUT score in patients with hematologic malignancies.MethodsAll relevant articles published up to November 15, 2021, were identified by systematically searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals were used to quantitatively analyze the association between the CONUT scores and clinical outcomes of patients with hematologic malignancies. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed. Funnel plots as well as Begg’s and Egger’s tests were used to assess publication bias.ResultsSix studies with 1811 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that a high CONUT score was associated with worse overall survival (OS) (HR=1.34, 95%CI 1.14-1.59, P < 0.001) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR=1.20, 95%CI 1.10-1.32, P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe CONUT score is an independent prognostic factor in patients with hematologic malignancies.Systematic review registrationhttp://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42021292621.

Background Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogeneous spectrum of clonal hematopoietic disorders with varying degrees of cytopenia and morphologic dysplasia. The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, an easy-to-use tool for assessing the nutritional status, was reported as an independent prognostic factor in cancer patients. However, its role in patients with MDS is unclear. Objective We aimed to explore the impact of CONUT score on the prognosis of patients with MDS, which is of great significance for clinical treatment. Methods A total of 121 patients with MDS were analyzed. The CONUT score was calculated prior to therapy. The bio-informatics tool X-tile was used to define the CONUT score and the threshold of 4 points was determined to predict the prognosis. Patients were divided into CONUTlow and CONUThigh groups, and the characteristics were compared between two groups. Results Results show that CONUTlow was associated with better overall survival (OS) than CONUThigh patients (Median OS, 30.20 vs. 19.63 months, p = 0.0003). However, there were no statistical differences in progression-free survival (PFS) between the two groups (p = 0.2683). Results of univariate and multivariate COX proportional hazard analysis adjusted for bone marrow blasts level, platelet count, International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) scores, gender, and hemoglobin (Hb) level showed that the CONUT score was useful in the evaluation standard of OS of MDS (hazard ratio (HR) 2.297, 95% CI 1.441–3.663, p < 0.001). Conclusions The CONUT, as a novel immuno-nutritional biomarker, may be useful in predicting the OS of MDS.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the prognostic value of the controlling nutritional status score (CONUT) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). METHODS The clinical data of 81 newly diagnosed MDS patients treated with decitabine in the hematology ward of our hospital from October 2009 to September 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the ROC curve of overall survival (OS), the best cutoff value of CONUT was obtained. MDS patients were divided into high CONUT score group and low CONUT score group according to the best cut-off value, and their clinical characteristics and survival were analyzed. RESULTS Among the 81 patients with MDS, there were 32 cases in the high CONUT score group and 49 cases in low CONUT score group. Compared with the low CONUT group, the high CONUT group had lower levels of hemoglobin, lymphocyte count, albumin, and total cholesterol (P = 0.037, < 0.001, 0.009, < 0.001). The median OS of low and high CONUT groups were 17.2 and 11.0 months (P = 0.017). According to the results of univariate and multivariate survival analysis of OS, thrombocytopenia, high CONUT score, and medium and high risk IPSS-R score were independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION High CONUT score is associated with low hemoglobin in patients with MDS. High CONUT score indicates poor OS and it is an independent prognostic factor in patients with MDS.

Abstract
In recent years, the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score has increasingly became an effective indicator associated with tumor prognosis. This study was conducted to synthesise data on the prognostic value of CONUT score on patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) or renal cell carcinoma (RCC) undergoing nephrectomy. We designed and performed a systematic analysis of studies that verified the correlation between preoperative CONUT score and prognosis for UTUC and RCC using PubMed, Web of Science and Embase. The conclusion was clarified by pooled hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Subgroup analysis were further conducted in accordance with different primary tumor. Six studies involving 3529 patients were included in this evidence synthesis, which revealed that the CONUT score had a potential role to predict the survival of UTUC and RCC patients accepting surgery. Pooled analysis showed that the overall survival (OS, HR 2·32, p < 0·0001), cancer-specific survival (CSS, HR 2·68, p < 0·0001) and disease-free survival (DFS, HR 1·62, p < 0·00001) were inferior in the high CONUT score group when compared with low score group. Subgroup analysis revealed that this result was in line with UTUC (OS: HR 1·86, p = 0·02; CSS: HR 2·24, p = 0·01; DFS: HR 1·54, p < 0·00001) and RCC (OS: HR 3·05, p < 0·00001; CSS: HR 3·47, p < 0·00001; DFS: HR 2·21, p = 0·0005) patients respectively. Consequently, the CONUT score is a valuable preoperative index to predict the survival of patients with UTUC or RCC undergoing nephrectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, based on three indexes including serum albumin (ALB), total cholesterol (CHO), and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), has been closely associated with the prognosis of cancer patients. Multiple studies revealed the significance of CONUT score in hematological malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), multiple myeloma (MM), and leukemia. OBJECTIVE This review aimed to explore the prognostic role of CONUT score in hematological malignancies. METHODS We conducted this review through Pubmed to summarize the published studies on the CONUT score in hematological malignancies, using the terms: Controlling nutritional status, CONUT score, hematological malignancy, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and leukemia. RESULT CONUT score can reflect not only the nutritional status but also the inflammatory status of patients with hematological malignancies. It can assist in predicting the survival of patients with DLBCL, PTCL, MM, adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplasia related changes (AML-MRC). CONCLUSION CONUT score plays an important role in predicting the prognosis of patients with hematological malignancies.

Abstract
The controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score is a simplified nutritional index calculated from serum albumin, total cholesterol, and total lymphocyte count. This study evaluated the prognostic impact of the CONUT score on overall survival (OS) in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). A multicenter, retrospective cohort study including 99 patients with PTCL was conducted. The CONUT score was significantly higher in the non-survivor group (median 5, range 0-12) than in the survivor group (median 3, range 0-11; p = 0.026). The CONUT score was an independent prognostic factor in a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model (hazard ratio 1.119, 95% confidence interval 1.021-1.227, p = 0.017). No significant effect-modification by the International Prognostic Index (IPI) was observed, and the CONUT score affected the prognosis of PTCL regardless of the IPI (P for interaction = 0.208). In conclusion, the CONUT score is an independent prognostic factor for PTCL irrespective of IPI category.

Abstract
Introduction Immunonutritional status is associated with the survival of DLBCL. This multicenter retrospective study aimed to explore the prognostic value of Prognostic Nutrition Index (PNI) in DLBCL patients by using propensity score matched analysis (PSM). Methods A total of 990 DLBCL cases were recruited from 5 centers of Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group (HHLWG). A 1:1 PSM analysis was performed using the nearest-neighbor method, with a caliper size of 0.02. Cox regression analysis was used to examine factors associated with survival. Results The median age at diagnosis was 62 years and 52.5% were males, with the 3-y overall survival of 65.1%. According to the MaxStat analysis, 44 was the optimal cut-off point of PNI. After PSM analysis, a total of 282 patients in PNI < 44 group could be propensity matched to PNI ≥ 44 patients, creating a group of 564 patients. Multivariable analysis revealed that PNI, age, central nervous system involvement and International Prognostic Index (IPI) were independent prognostic factors for DLBCL. Kaplan–Meier analysis indicated that patients with low PNI in Ann Arbor Stage (III/VI), ECOG (<2), IPI (LR+LIR), GCB, and BCL-2 negative groups had a poor prognosis. Discussion PNI could accurately stratify the prognosis of DLBCL after PSM analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, a novel immuno-nutritional index, was reported as a predictor of overall survival (OS) in some tumors. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the association between baseline CONUT Score and clinical outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 245 patients with MM. The CONUT score was determined prior to therapy. RESULTS Among the entire cohort, the complete remission rate was markedly higher in the low-CONUT (⩽ 3) group compared to the mid-CONUT (4-9) group or high-CONUT (> 9) group (44.1% vs 25.8%, P= 0.039; 44.1% vs 12.5%, P= 0.002). Patients with CONUT score > 9 had significant poor prognosis, and CONUT score ⩽ 3 group showed better survival outcome than other groups in OS (P< 0.001). Besides, we stratified the patients by combining International Staging System (ISS) stage and CONUT score in a model, and found that CONUT score could improve the prognostic impact of ISS stages on OS. In multivariate analysis, older age (⩾ 70 years) and a high CONUT score (⩾ 4) were independent prognostic risk factors for OS. CONCLUSIONS The CONUT score was a predictor of OS in MM patients especially in cases with both low ISS staging and CONUT score. The baseline CONUT score may be an early and practical indicator of the efficacy of anti-myeloma treatment.

Abstract
Background Mature T-cell lymphomas (MTCLs), a group of diseases with high aggressiveness and vulnerable prognosis, lack for the accurate prognostic stratification systems at present. Novel prognostic markers and models are urgently demanded. Aberrant lipid metabolism is closely related to the tumor progression but its prognostic significance in MTCLs remains unexplored. This study aims to investigate the relationship between dysregulated lipid metabolism and survival prognosis of MTCLs and establish a novel and well-performed prognostic scoring system for MTCL patients. Methods A total of 173 treatment-naive patients were enrolled in this study. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed to assess the prognostic significance of serum lipid profiles and screen out independent prognostic factors, which constituted a novel prognostic model for MTCLs. The performance of the novel model was assessed in the training and validation cohort, respectively, by examining its calibration, discrimination and clinical utility. Results Among the 173 included patients, 115 patients (01/2006–12/2016) constituted the training cohort and 58 patients (01/2017–06/2020) formed the validation cohort. Univariate analysis revealed declined total cholesterol (TC, P = 0.000), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, P = 0.000) and increased triglycerides (TG, P = 0.000) correlated to inferior survival outcomes. Multivariate analysis revealed extranodal involved sites ≥ 2 (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.439; P = 0.036), β2-MG ≥ 3 mg/L (HR: 4.165; P = 0.003) and TC < 3.58 mmol/L (HR: 3.338; P = 0.000) were independent predictors. Subsequently, a novel prognostic model, EnBC score, was constructed with these three factors. Harrell’s C-index of the model in the training and validation cohort was 0.840 (95% CI 0.810–0.870) and 0.882 (95% CI 0.822–0.942), respectively, with well-fitted calibration curves. The model divided patients into four risk groups with distinct OS [median OS: not available (NA) vs. NA vs. 14.0 vs. 4.0 months, P < 0.0001] and PFS (median PFS: 84.0 vs. 19.0 vs. 8.0 vs. 1.5 months, P < 0.0001). Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve and decision curve analysis further revealed that EnBC score provided higher diagnostic capacity and clinical benefit, compared with International Prognostic Index (IPI). Conclusion Firstly, abnormal serum lipid metabolism was demonstrated significantly related to the survival of MTCL patients. Furthermore, a lipid-covered prognostic scoring system was established and performed well in stratifying patients with MTCLs.

Impact of R-CHOP dose intensity on survival outcomes in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a systematic review. Blood Adv 2021; 5:2426-2437. [PMID: 33961018 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2021004665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The dilemma of whether to treat elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with a full or reduced dose intensity (DI) of R-CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone+rituximab) is often faced by clinicians. We conducted a systematic review assessing the impact of R-CHOP DI on DLBCL survival outcomes, according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL for studies with ≥100 patients treated with R-CHOP/R-CHOP-like therapies published from January 2002 through November 2020. Studies were included if they reported the impact of R-CHOP DI on survival outcomes. We screened records, extracted data, and reviewed all the studies for quality and statistical appraisal. Of 380 screened records, 13 studies including 5188 patients were reviewed. DI was often calculated as the ratio of the cumulative delivered dose of prespecified drug(s) to the cumulative planned dose multiplied by a time-correction factor. Lower DI (intended or relative) was associated with inferior survival in 7 of 9 studies reporting crude survival analyses. Multivariable analysis using DI as a covariate was performed in 10 studies. Six showed an association (P < .05) with adjustment for other covariates, and 4 did not. Most studies and those larger studies of higher quality showed poorer outcomes associated with reduced DI. In subgroups aged ≥80 years, survival was not consistently affected by reduced DI. DI-specific randomized trials are warranted, but these data support full-dose R-CHOP in elderly and fit patients aged <80 years with DLBCL, but not in those aged ≥80 years, where dose-reduced R-CHOP does not appear to compromise survival.

A novel nutritional index "simplified CONUT" and the disease risk index independently stratify prognosis of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Sci Rep 2020; 10:19400. [PMID: 33173122 PMCID: PMC7655799 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-76250-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/26/2020] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Elderly patients aged 65 or older with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have poor prognosis. The risk stratification based on genetic alteration has been proposed in national comprehensive cancer network (NCCN) guideline but its efficacy was not well verified especially in real world elderly patients. The nutritional status assessment using controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score is a prognostic biomarker in elderly patients with solid tumors but was not examined in elderly AML patients. We performed prospective analysis of genetic alterations of 174 patients aged 65 or older with newly diagnosed AML treated without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and developed simplified CONUT (sCONUT) score by eliminating total lymphocyte count from the items to adapt AML patients. In this cohort, both the NCCN 2017 risk group and sCONUT score successfully stratified the overall survival (OS) of the elderly patients. A multivariable analysis demonstrated that adverse group in NCCN 2017 and high sCONUT score were independently associated with poor 2-year OS. Both risk stratification based on NCCN 2017 and sCONUT score predict prognosis in the elderly patients with newly diagnosed AML.

Abstract
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Emerging evidence indicates that poor nutritional status determined with nutritional indices such as geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and controlling nutritional status score (CONUT) was associated with poor prognosis of DLBCL. We conducted this multicenter retrospective study to validate and compare prognostic values of the three indices in 615 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients. The overall survival (OS) in patients with poor nutritional status determined with each of these nutritional indices were significantly inferior compared with that in those without nutritional risks (5-year OS in patients with GNRI < 95.7 and GNRI ≥ 95.7 were 56.4% and 83.5%, P < 0.001; PNI < 42.4 and PNI ≥ 42.4 were 56.1% and 81.0%, P < 0.001; CONUT > 4 and CONUT ≤ 4 were 53.1% and 77.1%, P < 0.001). GNRI and CONUT were independent prognostic predictors for OS (GNRI < 95.7, hazard ratio [HR] 1.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22-2.74, P = 0.0032; CONUT > 4, HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.05-2.23, P = 0.028) after multivariate analyses. Nutritional status determined with GNRI affected OS more strongly in the patients with nongerminal center B cell-like (nonGCB) DLBCL compared with that in those with GCB-type DLBCL. In conclusion, baseline poor nutritional status determined based on GNRI or CONUT was an independent risk factor of newly diagnosed DLBCL, and GNRI was also useful as an independent prognostic factor for patients with nonGCB-type DLBCL.
