Objective:
To analyze the distribution characteristics of prognostic factors affecting recurrence in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients with different levels of histone deacetylase (HDAC) based on latent class analysis.
Methods:
112 PTCL patients who were treated in our hospital from September 2012 to September 2019 were selected and divided into recurrence group and non-recurrence group. The clinical data of the two groups of patients were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for recurrence. Latent class analysis was used to compare the distribution characteristics of prognostic factors affecting recurrence between the high-risk group and the low-risk group.
Results:
There were 87 patients (77.68%) in recurrence group and 25 patients (22.32%) in non-recurrence group. The result of multivariate logistic regression showed that ECOG score ≥2, Ann Arbor stage III-IV, IPI score >2, bone marrow involvement, elevated serum β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), short-term efficacy not reaching complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR), and the high expression of HDAC were all independent risk factors for recurrence in patients with PTCL (P <0.05). The recurrence rate of patients with high HDAC levels was significantly higher than that of patiens with low HDAC levels (P <0.05). The results of cluster analysis showed that the risk of recurrence was obviously clustered, and the patients could be divided into high recurrence risk group (HDAC＞5 points) and low recurrence risk group (HDAC≤5 points). The results of latent class analysis showed that patients with multiple risk factors account for a higher proportion in the high recurrence risk group, compared with the low recurrence risk group (P <0.05).
Conclusion:
There are differences in recurrence rates among PTCL patients with different HDAC levels and in distribution characteristics of risk factors between high recurrence risk and low recurrence risk groups.
