Abstract
Objective: The present study aims to explore the roles of infusion time, administration sequence and interval of immunochemotherapy (IO) in predicting overall survival (OS) in patients with locally advanced ESCC.
Methods: This multi-center retrospective study enrolled advanced ESCC who received IO between Nov 2019 and Nov 2021. Patients were divided into groups according to the three classifiers (IO infusion time, administration sequence, and infusion interval), and were further analyzed for the roles of these classifiers in predicting the prognosis of the ESCC patients.
Results: A total of 183 eligible patients with locally advanced ESCC were included in this study. Patients who received ≥ 75% of immunotherapy drug infusions after 12:00 h had better OS compared to those who received < 75% of immunotherapy drug infusions after 12:00 h in the 1:1 propensity score matching analysis (HRadjusted: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.17-0.82; P = 0.013). Cox proportional hazards regression revealed that ESCC patients with shorter infusion interval (< 3.3 h) had better OS (HRadjusted: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.15-0.76; P = 0.008).
Conclusion: For patients with ESCC, the OS is significantly better when immunotherapy was administered after 12:00 h. A shorter infusion interval (< 3.3 hours) on the same-day immunochemotherapy could lead to a better prognosis.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Surgery (IJS) has a broad scope, encompassing all surgical specialties. Its primary objective is to facilitate the exchange of crucial ideas and lines of thought between and across these specialties.By doing so, the journal aims to counter the growing trend of increasing sub-specialization, which can result in "tunnel-vision" and the isolation of significant surgical advancements within specific specialties.
