Objectives:
The significance of the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) for predicting prognostic outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been analysed in previous studies, but no consistent conclusions have been obtained. Consequently, the present meta-analysis was performed to identify the significance of SIRI in predicting the prognosis of NSCLC.
Design:
This study followed the PRISMA guidelines.
Data Sources:
PubMed, Web of Science and Embase databases were searched between their inception and 26 November 2023.
Eligibility Criteria For Selecting Studies:
Studies investigating the relationship between SIRI and survival outcomes of patients with NSCLC were included.
Data Extraction And Synthesis:
The value of SIRI in predicting prognosis in NSCLC cases was predicted using combined hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs.
Results:
Nine articles with 3728 cases were enrolled in this study. Based on our combined data, a higher SIRI value was markedly linked with poor overall survival (OS) (HR=2.08, 95% CI 1.68 to 2.58, p<0.001) and inferior progression-free survival (PFS) (HR=1.74, 95% CI 1.47 to 2.07, p<0.001) of NSCLC. According to the subgroup analysis, country, history and cut-off value did not affect the significance of SIRI in predicting OS and PFS in NSCLC (p<0.05).
Conclusions:
A higher SIRI value was significantly associated with both OS and PFS in patients with NSCLC. Moreover, SIRI had a stable prognostic efficiency for NSCLC in various subgroups.
