Prognostic Value of Inflammatory and Nutritional Indicators in Non-Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas by Yan Y, Zhang Y, Chen Y, Zhong G, Huang W, Zhang Y

“…Multivariate regression showed higher Enneking staging (HR=2.720, P=0.038), lower AGR (HR=2.091, P=0.014), and higher SIRI (HR=2.078, P=0.034) as independent prognostic factors for DFS. Meanwhile, low AGR (HR=3.729, P=0.034), and high SIRI (HR=3.729, P=0.016) remained independent prognostic factors for OS.Conclusion: Preoperative SIRI is a better predictive index compared to NLR, PLR, and LMR. …”
