ABSTRACT
The association between pretreatment albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) and clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in lung cancer is unclear. The study aimed to identify the clinical role of pretreatment AAPR among lung cancer patients. Several databases were searched for relevant studies. The primary outcome and secondary outcome were long-term survival including the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) and clinicopathological characteristics, respectively. The hazard ratios (HRs) and relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined. A total of 11 publications involving 10,589 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results manifested that a lower pretreatment AAPR predicted poorer OS (HR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.59-0.71, P < 0.001) and PFS (HR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.59-0.78, P < 0.001). Furthermore, subgroup analysis for the OS and PFS based on the pathological type and treatment showed similar results and pretreatment AAPR was significantly associated with worse prognosis. Besides, pretreatment AAPR was significantly associated with male (RR = 1.08, 95% CI 1.03-1.13, P < 0.001), poor differentiation (RR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.03-1.73, P = 0.029), advanced T stage (RR = 1.25, 95% CI 1.03-1.52, P = 0.026), N stage (RR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.15-1.55, P < 0.001) and TNM stage (RR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.06-1.223, P < 0.001). Therefore, pretreatment AAPR is significantly related to prognosis and tumor stage in lung cancer and patients with a lower pretreatment AAPR are more likely to experience poor survival and advanced tumor stage.
