摘要:
目的 分析iSEND免疫评分与肺免疫预后指数(LIPI)在广泛期小细胞肺癌患者免疫联合化疗治疗疗效及预后中的预测价值,以探索可指导临床治疗的新指标。 方法 回顾性分析2022年6月—2024年12月蚌埠医科大学第一附属医院收治的127例应用免疫联合化疗治疗的广泛期小细胞肺癌患者的临床资料,分别利用iSEND免疫评分及LIPI对患者进行分组,构建ROC曲线比较2种评分对疗效及预后的预测效能。利用Kaplan-Meier法、单因素和多因素Cox回归分析研究各种预后相关因素和PFS间的关系。 结果 iSEND免疫评分不良组、中等组、良好组中位无进展生存期(PFS)分别为3.50、8.50、13.17个月;LIPI不良组、中等组、良好组中位PFS分别为3.67、8.20和10.83个月,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.001)。LIPI预测疾病控制率(DCR)、客观缓解率(ORR)、PFS的AUC分别为0.731、0.725、0.751,iSEND免疫评分预测DCR、ORR、PFS的AUC分别为0.708、0.649、0.677,均小于LIPI(P<0.01)。Cox回归分析显示,LDH和dNLR在全组和各亚组中都是PFS的独立预测因素。 结论 2种评分在免疫联合化疗治疗ES-SCLC患者疗效及预后中均具有良好的预测价值,且LIPI预测能力更强。LDH和dNLR作为LIPI的评分因素在全组和各亚组中均是PFS的独立预测因素,这可能与LIPI预测能力强于iSEND免疫评分有关。 Abstract:Objective To analyze the predictive value of iSEND immune score and lung immune prognostic index (LIPI) in the prognosis and efficacy of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, and to explore novel indicators guided clinical treatment. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 127 patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) treated with immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (CIT) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University from June 2022 to December 2024. Patients were stratified according to the iSEND immune score and LIPI, respectively, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to compare the predictive efficacy of the two scoring systems for treatment response and prognosis. Kaplan-Meier method, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were applied to explore the association between various prognosis-related factors and progression-free survival (PFS). Results The median PFS was 3.50 months, 8.50 months, and 13.17 months in the poor, intermediate, and favorable subgroups of the iSEND immune score, respectively; while the median PFS was 3.67 months, 8.20 months, and 10.83 months in the corresponding subgroups of the LIPI, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) values of LIPI for predicting disease control rate (DCR), objective response rate (ORR), and PFS were 0.731, 0.725, and 0.751, respectively, whereas those of the iSEND immune score were 0.708, 0.649, and 0.677, which were significantly lower than those of LIPI (P < 0.01). Cox regression analysis revealed that lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR) were independent prognostic factors for PFS in both the entire cohort and all subgroups. Conclusion Both scoring systems exhibit favorable predictive value for the prognosis and efficacy of CIT in patients with ES-SCLC, with LIPI demonstrating superior predictive ability. LDH and dNLR, as LIPI components, are independent predictors of PFS across overall and subgroup analyses, likely attributed to LIPI's enhanced predictive capacity over the iSEND model. -
