Background and Objectives: Advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has led to a high number of mortalities. Immunotherapy, as a first-line treatment in advanced NSCLC, currently has no clarity regarding its prognostic markers to assess the treatment outcome. This systematic review aimed to evaluate neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as prognostic markers in advanced NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy. Materials and Methods: This systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA guidelines, starting from screening for relevant studies from several databases. Each included cohort study was further assessed by using the Newcastle–Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale, and the available data were extracted for qualitative and quantitative synthesis in pooled and subgroup analysis. Results: A total of 1719 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Hazard ratio (HR) outcomes for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for NLR and PLR showed significant results, supporting NLR and PLR as prognostic markers (NLR: HR PFS 2.21 [95% CI: 1.50–3.24; p < 0.0001] and HR OS 2.68 [95% CI: 2.24–3.6; p < 0.0001]; PLR: HR PFS 1.57 [95% CI: 1.33–1.84; p < 0.00001] and HR OS 2.14 [95% CI: 1.72–2.67; p < 0.00001]). Subgroup analysis with a cut-off value of 5 for NLR and 200 for PLR also demonstrated notable outcomes. Higher NLR and PLR levels are associated with poor prognostic. Conclusions: There is considerable evidence regarding both markers as prognostic markers in NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy. However, further studies with more homogeneous baseline characteristics are required to confirm these findings.
Gagal jantung pediatrik merupakan penyebab mortalitas dan morbiditas anak-anak. Terdapat hubungan antara gagal jantung pediatrik, penyakit jantung bawaan, dan kardiomiopati. Tujuan pengobatan gagal jantung pediatrik untuk mencegah perburukan dan agar perkembangan anak optimal. Tata laksana gagal jantung pada anak-anak diekstrapolasi dari pendekatan tata laksana dewasa. Pediatric heart failure is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in children. There is an association between pediatric heart failure, congenital heart disease, and cardiomyopathy. The treatment goal for heart failure in children is to prevent worsening and to provide optimal development. Management of heart failure in children is extrapolated from management in adults.
