Predictive Value of F-SIRI in Prognosis of Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Radical Hepatectomy

Abstract

Background: Objective to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative fibrinogen and systemic inflammatory response index (F-SIRI) in the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after radical hepatectomy. Methods: the clinical data of 298 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent surgery and confirmed by postoperative pathology in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The F-SIRI score was calculated according to FIB and SIRI data of peripheral blood. The relationship between F-SIRI score and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed. The survival analysis was performed by Kaplan Meier method, Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the prognostic factors. Results: preoperative F-SIRI score was correlated with tumor diameter, FIB and SIRI (P<0.05), but not with age, gender, TNM stage and other clinical features (P>0.05). There were significant differences in the 5-year DFS rate and OS rate among patients with different preoperative F-SIRI scores(P<0.05); Cox regression analysis showed that preoperative tumor diameter, alpha fetoprotein level and F-SIRI score were independent predictors of DFS in patients with HCC (P< 0.05), while preoperative tumor diameter, ALB and F-SIRI score as independent predictors of OS (P<0.05). Conclusion: preoperative F-SIRI is an independent prognostic factor in patients with HCC after radical hepatectomy, with poor prognosis in patients with high level of F-SIRI.
