Elevated preoperative platelet distribution width predicts poor prognosis in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract Activated platelets play a multifaceted role in tumorigenesis and progression. Platelet distribution width (PDW) is generally applied platelet parameters from routine blood test. Preoperative PDW has been considered a prognostic factor in many cancers. Nevertheless, the prognostic value of...

The study aimed to investigate whether preoperative PDW could serve as a prognostic factor in patients with ESCC. A total of 495 patients with ESCC undergoing curative surgery were enrolled. The relationship between PDW and clinical features in ESCC was analyzed using chi-square tests. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cut-off value. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) stratified by PDW were evaluated by Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to evaluate the prognostic effect of PDW. Of the 495 patients, elevated PDW was observed in 241(48.7%) of the patients, respectively. An elevated PDW was correlated with depth of tumor (T stage, P = 0.031), nerve infiltration (P = 0.016), hospital time after operation (P = 0.020), platelet (P < 0.001), red cell distribution width (P < 0.001), and aspartate transaminase (P = 0.001). Moreover, elevated PDW (PDW ≥ 13.4 fL) predicted a worse OS and DFS in patients with ESCC (both P < 0.001). Multivariate analyses revealed that PDW was independently associated with OS (hazard ratios 1.194; 95% confidence interval 1.120–1.273; P < 0.001) and DFS (hazard ratios 2.562; 95% confidence interval 1.733–3.786; P < 0.001).
