| Sumario: | AimThe Gustave Roussy Immune Score (GRIm-Score) was originally designed to select cancer patients for immunotherapy, and later was reported to be a novel prognostic scoring system in lung cancer and esophageal cancer. This study was aimed to determine the prognostic role and predictive performance of GRIm-Score in colorectal cancer (CRC) CRC patients.MethodsWe conducted a single-institution study of 1,579 adult CRC patients receiving surgical removal, and those patients were divided into low GRIm-Score group (scores 0, 1) and high GRIm-Score group (scores 2, 3). Propensity score matching (PSM) was executed to balance the potential confounding factors between the two groups. Survival and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (Td-ROC) analyses were applied to depict the prognostic role and predictive significance of GRIm-Score in CRC patients.ResultsThere were 200 cases CRC patients in high GRIm-Score group and 1,379 cases in low GRIm-Score group. CRC patients with high GRIm-Score correspond with higher level of CEA, CA125, and inflammatory indexes, such as NLR, PLR, SII, PNI, and ALRI. Correlation analysis exhibited that GRIm-Score correlated well with the established inflammatory indexes. Survival analysis revealed that CRC patients in high GRIm-Score group showed worse overall survival (OS, P <0.0001) and disease-free survival (DFS, P <0.0001) compared with those in low GRIm-Score group. Results from multivariate Cox regression implicated that high GRIm-Score was not only a potent prognostic index for unfavorable OS (HR = 1.622, 95%CI: 1.118–2.355, P = 0.0109), but also a potent risk factor for worse DFS (HR = 1.743, 95%CI: 1.188–2.558, P = 0.0045). Td-ROC analysis demonstrated that GRIm-Score exhibited the superior discriminatory power in the prediction of OS and DFS when compared to SII, PNI, and ALRI. Such strong associations between high levels of preoperative GRIm-Score and unfavorable survival outcomes remained robust after PSM analysis.ConclusionGRIm-Score, a novel inflammatory and nutritional risk scoring system, is a potent prognostic index in CRC patients receiving surgical removal. GRIm-Score can be used as an effective and simplified risk stratification tool for postoperative survival prediction of CRC patients. |
