Correlation of prothrombin time with clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma北大核心CSCD

Objective: To investigate the correlation of prothrombin time (PT) with clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients with osteosarcoma. Methods: The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), PT, fibrinogen (FIB) and D-dimer in peripheral blood of 111 patients with osteosarcoma and 35 concurrent healthy volunteers (as the control) from May 2011 to May 2018 were tested. The correlation of PT with clinicopathological features and prognosis of the patients with osteosarcoma was analyzed. Results: The median survival time of 111 patients with osteosarcoma was 25 months, and the one-and two-year survival rates were 76.6% and 51.4%, respectively. The levels of D-dimer and FIB in the patients with osteosarcoma were higher than those in the control group (both P < 0.01), and the PT was shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.01), while the APTT was not statistical different between these two groups (P > 0.05). The PT was longer in the patients with osteosarcoma younger than 20 years old (P = 0.002), while PT had no correlation with gender, tumor size, clinical stage, tumor location and metastatic status (all P> 0.05). The overall survival time of the patients with osteosarcoma in PT ≥ 10.4 s group was shorter than that in PT < 10.4 s group (P = 0.024), the progression-free survival time of the patients with osteosarcoma had no significant difference between these two groups (P= 0.594). The overall survival time and progression-free survival time of the patients with osteosarcoma in metastasis group were shorter than those in non-metastasis group (both P< 0.001). The overall survival time (P= 0.004) and progression-free survival time (P= 0.013) of the patients with osteosarcoma in stage I / II group were longer than those in stage EI/IV group. The clinical stage, PT and metastasis status were related with the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma (all P< 0.05). The PT and metastasis status were independent predictive factors for the prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma (both P < 0.05). Conclusion: The changes of PT may provide a reference for monitoring the condition and prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma. © 2019 by TUMOR. All rights reserved.
