Prognostic value of Glasgow prognostic score in hematological malignancies: a systematic review and meta-analysis
摘要
The Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) is used to predict the prognosis of several cancers. This first systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the role of GPS in predicting overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with hematological malignancies.
MethodsEmbase, PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Google Scholar were screened for studies evaluating the prognostic role of GPS in hematological malignancies.
ResultsTwelve studies were eligible. Meta-analysis showed that patients with GPS of ≥1 and ≥2 had worse OS than those with GPS of 0. We noted that both GPS scores of ≥1 and ≥2 were associated with significantly poor PFS in patients with hematological malignancies. Results remained robust on sensitivity analysis.
ConclusionGPS can be used as a predictor of OS and PFS in patients with hematological malignancies. High GPS scores can lead to a twofold higher risk of poor OS and PFS.
