Abstract

Backgrounds: Compelling evidence has emerged to support a close relationship between metabolic syndrome and esophageal cancer (EC).

Aims: Using five baseline metabolism-related markers, we constructed a metabolic risk score (MRS), aiming to test whether MRS can improve the prediction of postsurgical EC-specific mortality over traditional demographic and clinicopathologic characteristics.

Methods: Total 2535 EC patients who received three-field lymphadenectomy were enrolled from January 2000 to December 2010, and they were followed up until December 2015.

Results: All EC patients were randomly split into derivation group (n=1512, 60%) and validation group (n=1014, 40%). MRS was generated in derivation group by adopting the Framingham 'points' system and shrinkage method, and it ranged from -9 to 17. EC-specific mortality risk increased with the increase of MRS, and adjusted estimates were more obvious in patients with upper tertile (MRS>6) than patients with lower MRS (≤2) in either derivation (hazard ratio [HR]=2.28, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.90-2.73, P<0.001) or validation group (HR=2.11, 95% CI: 1.66-2.67, P<0.001) or both groups (HR=2.37, 95% CI: 1.95-2.88, P<0.001). In Kaplan-Meier curve, cumulative survival rates differed significantly across tertiles of MRS. Further analysis indicated that MRS can improve classification accuracy and discriminatory ability over clinicopathologic parameters.

Conclusions: Our findings supported the usefulness of baseline MRS in predicting the prognosis of postsurgical EC-specific mortality.
