Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the prediction for postoperative infection in patients with endometrial cancer, establish risk factor model, and analyze the values of programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) +CD
3+, carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and chitinase protein 40 (YKL-40) in prediction of the infection.
METHODS Totally 181 patients with endometrial cancer who were treated in Ji'an Maternal and Child Health Hospital from Jan 2019 to Aug 2022 were enrolled in the study and were divided into the infection group with 34 cases and the no infection group with 147 cases according to the status of postoperative infection. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were performed for risk factors for the postoperative infection, the logistic regression equation of risk factors was established, and the values of PD-1+CD
3+, CA125 and YKL-40 in prediction of postoperative infection were analyzed by means of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
RESULTS Of the 181 patients with endometrial cancer, 34 had postoperative infection, with the infection rate 18.78%. The result of multivariate logistic analysis showed that International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅱ, open laparotomy and serum albumin (ALB) level less than 30g/L were the risk factors for the postoperative infection in the patients with endometrial cancer(
P<0.05). Logistic regression equation was established based on the risk factors: Logit(
P)=-8.257+FIGO stage×1.196+ surgery mode×1.288+ serum ALB level×2.287. ROC analysis indicated that the areas under curves (AUCs) of PD-1+CD
3+, CA125 and YKL-40 were respectively 0.804, 0.737 and 0.800 in prediction of postoperative infection in the patients with endometrial cancer.
CONCLUSION The incidence of postoperative infection is high among the patients with endometrial cancer. The occurrence of postoperative infection is closely associated with FIGO stage Ⅱ, laparotomy and serum albumin level less than 30g/L; PD-1+CD
3+, CA125 and YKL-40 have certain values in prediction of the postoperative infection in the patients with endometrial cancer.
