RESUMO
The aim of this study was to investigate and analyse the predictive value of systemic inflammatory markers based on peripheral blood biomarkers for the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Based on a retrospective monitoring cohort of 973 NSCLC patients from an Affiliated Tumor Hospital from 2012 to 2023. The log-rank test and Cox proportional risk regression model were used to identify independent prognostic inflammatory markers. Subsequently, a nomogram prediction model was constructed and evaluated. The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that patients with high NLR group (HR = 1.238, 95% CI 1.015-1.510, P = 0.035), and high CAR group (HR = 1.729, 95% CI 1.408-2.124, P < 0.001) were risk factors affecting the prognosis of NSCLC patients. The nomogram that includes age, tumor stage, smoking history, BMI, NLR, and CAR can effectively predict the prognosis of NSCLC patients.The inflammatory markers NLR and CAR, which combine inflammatory and nutritional status, are effective predictors of the prognosis of NSCLC patients. The combination of clinical information and these easily accessible inflammatory markers has significant research value for prognostic assessment, clinical treatment, and follow-up monitoring of NSCLC patients.
