Abstract

Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) worsens the prognosis for overall survival (OS) due to chemotherapy‐triggered acute exacerbation (AE)‐ILD. The Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), which is based on serum C‐reactive protein and albumin levels, has been suggested as a reliable prognostic tool for mortality in cancer patients, including NSCLC. In this study, we investigated whether GPS is a predictor for chemotherapy‐triggered AE‐ILD and the prognosis in patients with NSCLC and pre‐existing ILD. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review on 56 NSCLC and ILD patients at our hospital who received platinum agent‐based treatment as first‐line chemotherapy between June 2010 and May 2019. We categorized these patients according to their GPS (0–2) and compared the incidence of chemotherapy‐triggered AE‐ILD and OS. Results: The GPS 0, 1, and 2 groups included 31, 16, and nine patients, respectively, out of 56. A total of 12 (21.4%) patients showed chemotherapy‐triggered AE‐ILD. The median OS was at 11.5 months (95% confidence interval: 8.0–15.1). The incidence of chemotherapy‐triggered AE‐ILD within the first year of chemotherapy in the GPS 0, 1, and 2 groups was three (9.6%), four (25.0%), and five (55.5%), and the median OS time was 16.9, 9.8 and 7.6 months, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that only GPS 2 could predict both chemotherapy‐triggered AE‐ILD and OS (P < 0.05). Conclusions: GPS assessment of patients with NSCLC and pre‐existing ILD is a valuable prognostic tool for predicting chemotherapy‐triggered AE‐ILD and OS. Key points: Significant findings of the study: We found that GPS 2 was an independent risk factor for chemotherapy‐triggered AE‐ILD and prognosis in patients with ILD associated with NSCLC. What this study adds: GPS may potentially enable the discrimination of patients tolerant of chemotherapy from those at an increased risk of AE‐ILD and predict the prognosis in patients with NSCLC and ILD receiving chemotherapy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
