Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and the albumin/globulin ratio (AGR) have been used as prognostic markers in many malignancies. This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical significance of the preoperative SII and AGR in high-grade glioma (HGG) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 169 patients with newly diagnosed HGG were enrolled in the current study. Overall survival (OS) of these patients was estimated by Kaplan-Meier analyses. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to examine the relationships between OS and prognostic variables in patients with HGG. RESULTS: The cut-off values for SII and AGR were 324.38 × 109/L and 1.35, respectively. An inverse correlation was observed between SII and AGR. The Kaplan-Meier survival analyses demonstrated that high SII and low AGR were associated with poor OS of patients with HGG (P = 0.002 and P = 0.012, respectively). Multivariate analyses revealed that both SII (HR 1.641, 95% CI: 1.071-2.515; P = 0.023) and AGR (HR 0.566, 95% CI: 0.335-0.956; P = 0.033) were independent predictive indicators of OS of HGG patients. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, this study demonstrated that high SII and low AGR values may serve as promising prognostic markers to identify HGG patients with poor prognosis.
