天冬氨酸转氨酶与中性粒细胞比值对肝癌患者TACE治疗预后的影响

目的 探讨经导管肝动脉化疗栓塞(TACE)术前血清天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)和中性粒细胞比值(ANRI)对肝细胞肝癌患者预后的评估价值.方法 收集2008年1月至2011年6月期间107例肝细胞肝癌患者的临床资料,研究对象均成功施行TACE,以5年总生存率绘制ROC曲线确定截断值,对术前患者的ANRI、AST与淋巴细胞比值(ALRI)、AST与血小板计数比值(APRI)、中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)、血小板计数与淋巴细胞比值(PLR)及其他临床病理参数进行单因素、多因素Logisitc回归分析及Kaplan-Meier生存分析,以确定上述因素对无病生存期(DFS)和生存期(0S)的预测价值.结果 ANRI与HBsAg、AST、肝硬化的存在、肿瘤大小、门静脉癌栓及肿瘤的复发具有相关性(P＜0.05).通过单因素分析显示,ANRI、ALRI、APRI、NLR、PLR与接受TACE治疗肝癌患者的DFS和OS具有显著相关性(P＜0.05).多因素Logisitc回归分析显示,ANRI被证明是该类患者DFS和OS的独立影响因素(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier生存分析表明,术前ANRI＞7.8的患者行TACE治疗后预后较差.结论 TACE术前ANRI水平是肝细胞肝癌患者预后独立的预测因素,ANRI水平较高往往提示该类患者行TACE治疗的预后较差.

The prognostic significance of aspartate aminotransferase to neutrophils ratio in HCC patients treated with TACE

Objective To discuss the prognostic value of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to neutrophils ratio index (ANRI) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after receiving transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).Methods The clinical data of 107 HCC patients,who were admitted to authors' hospital to receive treatment during the period from January 2008 to June 2011,were retrospectively analyzed.TACE was successfully performed in all patients.Based on the 5-year overall survival rate,ROC curve was drawn and the cutoff value was determined.Preoperative ANRI,AST-lymphocytes ratio index (ALRI),AST-platelet count ratio index (APRI),neutrophil-lymphocytes ratio index (NLR),platelet count-lymphocytes ratio index (PLR) and other clinical pathological parameters were calculated.Univariate analysis,multivariate Logisitc regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to assess the value of the above indexes in prejudging the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).Results ANRI bore a close relationship to the presence of HBsAg,AST,presence of cirrhosis,tumor size,portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) and recurrence of tumor (P＜0.05).Univariate analysis showed that ANRI,ALRI,APRI,NLR and PLR were significantly correlated with DFS and OS in HCC patients after receiving TACE (P＜0.05).Logisitc regression analysis revealed that ANRI was independent factor influencing DFS and OS (P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that the prognosis after TACE was poor in patients whose preoperative ANRI ＞7.8.Conclusion Preoperative ANRI level is an independent and effective predictor for judging the prognosis of HCC patients.A high preoperative ANRI level usually suggests a poor prognosis after TACE.
