@entity32 Score in Surgical XXXX with @entity14 .

@entity1 @entity32 @entity66 @entity5 @entity14 @entity1851
Several inflammatory markers have been investigated as prognostic parameters in a variety of @entity5 population with mostly favorable results. This study aimed to verify the significance of common inflammatory markers as prognostic variables and assess whether a selective combination of them as prognostic @entity32 score (PIS) could further improve their prognostic values in surgical @entity1 with @entity14 ( @entity14 ). A total of 265 @entity1 who had undergone curative resection of @entity14 were reviewed retrospectively. Preoperative levels of inflammatory markers such as serum @entity1851 ( @entity1851 ), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell count (WBC), and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were assessed by uni- and multivariate survival analysis with disease-free (DFS) and @entity66 ( @entity66 ). PIS was constructed with a selective combination of inflammatory markers which were independently significant. On univariate analysis, @entity1851 , ESR, and NLR were significantly associated with DFS and @entity66 . On multivariate analysis, @entity1851 and NLR were independently significant prognostic variables for @entity66 and DFS respectively (P=0.013, P=0.021). When PIS was constructed with combination of @entity1851 and NLR, it was independently and significantly associated with both DFS and @entity66 (P=0.006, P=0.010). Furthermore, PIS was superior to @entity1851 for @entity66 (HR=15.679 vs. HR=5.183), and NLR for DFS in terms of prognosticating power (HR=4.894 vs. HR=2.687). When PIS is constructed with combination of @entity1851 and NLR, it is a potentially significant prognostic variable associated with poor survival regardless pathologic prognostic variables in @entity1 with @entity14 after curative resection.
