摘要

Background

The significance of the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in predicting the prognostic outcomes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has been widely explored, with conflicting results. Therefore, the present meta-analysis aimed to identify the prognostic significance of the CONUT in DLBCL by aggregating current evidence.

Methods

The Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, CNKI and Cochrane Library databases were searched for articles from inception to October 15, 2024. The prognostic value of CONUT for DLBCL was analyzed by determining the pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to analyze study quality.

Results

Eight studies including 2687 cases were included in this work. The NOS scores of these studies were 7–9 (median, 8), demonstrating high quality. Our analyses revealed that an elevated CONUT score significantly predicted poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.63, 95%CI = 1.29–2.05, p < 0.001) and inferior progression-free survival (PFS) (HR=1.22, 95%CI = 1.12–1.33, p < 0.001) in patients with DLBCL. Further, the elevated CONUT score showed a significant correlation with the following clinicopathological factors in DLBCL: Ann Arbor stage III-IV, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 2–4, presence of extranodal disease, ≥high intermediate National Comprehensive Cancer Network International Prognostic Index (NCCN IPI), presence of B symptoms, elevated lactose dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, and presence of bone marrow infiltration.

Conclusions

An increased CONUT score was dramatically associated with poor OS and PFS in patients with DLBCL, as well as with clinicopathological characteristics representing DLBCL tumor development.
