Nomogram-derived immune-inflammation-nutrition score could act as a novel prognostic indicator for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

AimThis study aims to create and validate a novel systematic immune-inflammation-nutrition (SIIN) score to provide a non-invasive and accurate prognostic tool for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients.Methods259 participants diagnosed with HNSCC from the First Affiliated Hospital of...

description AimThis study aims to create and validate a novel systematic immune-inflammation-nutrition (SIIN) score to provide a non-invasive and accurate prognostic tool for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients.Methods259 participants diagnosed with HNSCC from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University between 2008 and 2017 was included in this retrospective study. Patients were assigned to training (n=181) and validation (n=78) sets. A LASSO Cox regression model was employed to identify significant biomarkers for constructing a SIIN nomogram and to create SIIN score from this nomogram. The prognostic accuracy of the SIIN score was assessed by exploiting receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox proportional hazard regression models, calibration and DCA curves.ResultsThe SIIN score was formulated based on six biomarkers-platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), albumin-bilirubin index (ALBI), fibrinogen (FIB) and monocyte count-identified by LASSO regression analysis. (1)The SIIN score demonstrated superior predictive value, achieving area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of 0.736 and 0.700 for 3- and 5-year OS. For recurrence-free survival (RFS), the AUC values were 0.752 for 3-year and 0.701 5-year RFS, as assessed in the training set. Validated as an independent prognostic factor in both cohorts, the SIIN score showed strong correlation with adverse clinicopathological outcomes.ConclusionThe SIIN score is a promising prognostic tool that integrates immune, inflammatory, and nutritional factors for predicting clinical outcomes in HNSCC patients. It offers enhanced predictive accuracy compared to existing markers and has the potential to guide personalized treatment strategies and clinical decision-making.
