COVID-19 lung cancer nomogram pneumonia risk factor.

摘要

Background: COVID-19 has spread worldwide, becoming a global threat to public health and can lead to complications, especially pneumonia, which can be life-threatening. However, in lung cancer patients, the prediction of pneumonia and severe pneumonia has not been studied. We aimed to develop effective models to assess pneumonia after SARS-CoV-2 infection in lung cancer patients to guide COVID-19 management. Methods: We retrospectively recruited 621 lung cancer patients diagnosed with COVID-19 v...更多

Background: COVID-19 has spread worldwide, becoming a global threat to public health and can lead to complications, especially pneumonia, which can be life-threatening. However, in lung cancer patients, the prediction of pneumonia and severe pneumonia has not been studied. We aimed to develop effective models to assess pneumonia after SARS-CoV-2 infection in lung cancer patients to guide COVID-19 management. Methods: We retrospectively recruited 621 lung cancer patients diagnosed with COVID-19 via SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR analysis in two medical centers and divided into training and validation group, respectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify independent risk factors of all-grade pneumonia and ≥ grade 2 pneumonia in the training group. Nomograms were established based on independent predictors and verified in the validation group. C-index, ROC curves, calibration curve, and DCA were used to evaluate the nomograms. Subgroup analyses in immunotherapy or thoracic radiotherapy patients were then conducted. Results: Among 621 lung cancer patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, 203 developed pneumonia, and 66 were ≥ grade 2. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes, thoracic radiotherapy, low platelet and low albumin at diagnosis of COVID-19 were significantly associated with all-grade pneumonia. The C-indices of the prediction nomograms in the training group and validation group were 0.702 and 0.673, respectively. Independent predictors of ≥ grade 2 pneumonia were age, KPS, thoracic radiotherapy, platelet and albumin at COVID 19 diagnosis, with C-indices of 0.811 and 0.799 in the training and validation groups. In the thoracic radiotherapy subgroup, 40.8% and 11% patients developed all-grade and ≥grade 2 pneumonia, respectively. The rates in the immunotherapy subgroup were 31.3% and 6.6%, respectively. Conclusion: We developed nomograms predicting the probability of pneumonia in lung cancer patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. The models showed good performance and can be used in the clinical management of COVID-19 in lung cancer patients. Higher-risk patients should be managed with enhanced protective measures and appropriate intervention.收起
