Abstract:Objective: To analyze the correlation and predictive value of quantitative parameters of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography compared with computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) with the prognosis and outcome of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods: A total of 200 DLBCL patients from The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from May 2020 to May 2022 were selected. All patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT examination to obtain quantitative parameters. After a 2-year follow-up, patients were divided into a poor prognosis group and a good prognosis group according to their prognosis. The general information and 18F-FDG PET/CT quantitative parameters [maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax), average standard uptake value (SUVmean), maximum metabolic tumor volume (MTVmax), total metabolic tumor volume (MTVsum), maximum glycolysis (TLGmax), total glycolysis (TLGsum), maximum diameter of the largest lesion (Dmax)] were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting poor prognosis. A conventional logistic prediction model was established based on conventional influencing factors. A new logistic prediction model was established by combining conventional influencing factors with quantitative parameters of 18F-FDG PET/CT. The predictive value of the two logistic prediction models was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: Among the 192 patients who completed follow-up, 81 patients had a poor prognosis (42 relapsed, 23 progressed, and 16 died), and 111 patients had a good prognosis. The proportion of Ann-Arbor stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ, the proportion of International Prognostic Index (IPI) score ≥4, the lactate dehydrogenase/albumin ratio (LAR), and the MTVmax, MTVsum, TLGmax, TLGsum, Dmax in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group, while the albumin/fibrinogen ratio (AFR) was lower than that in the good prognosis group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that Ann-Arbor staging (OR=2.129, 95%CI: 1.426~3.180), IPI (OR=2.640, 95%CI: 1.731~4.025), AFR (OR=0.383, 95%CI: 0.267~0.549), LAR (OR=1.420, 95%CI: 1.143~1.765), MTVmax (OR=1.503, 95%CI: 1.206~1.873), MTVsum (OR=1.445, 95%CI: 1.185~1.761), TLGmax (OR=1.487, 95%CI: 1.193~1.854), TLGsum (OR=1.455, 95%CI: 1.175~1.802), Dmax (OR=1.519, 95%CI: 1.220~1.891) were all factors affecting the poor prognosis of DLBCL patients (P<0.05). A logistic prediction model was constructed, and ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the new model for predicting poor prognosis in DLBCL patients was 0.941 (95%CI: 0.897~0.970), which was superior to the predictive performance of conventional models (P<0.05). Conclusion: The 18F-FDG PET/CT quantitative parameters of MTVmax, MTVsum, TLGmax, TLGsum, and Dmax are all factors influencing the poor prognosis of patients with DLBCL, and the combination of them with conventional indices can significantly increase the predictive value of the risk of poor prognosis, which can be used as a new protocol for clinical prediction of prognosis and guide clinical decision-making.
