Background/Aims: Increasing evidence indicates that the systemic inflammatory response plays a vital role in carcinogenesis. The Glasgow Prognostic Score or modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS/mGPS) is a novel inflammatory indicator which consists of CRP and albumin. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic value of the GPS/ mGPS in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and to assess its consistency in different CRC therapies. Methods: The electronic databases PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception through December 2017 for the association between the GPS/mGPS and clinical outcomes. Study characteristics and prognostic data were extracted from each relevant study. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were considered the primary outcomes, and hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. The quality of each study was pooled using the random-effects Mantel-Haenszel model. Finally, subgroup analyses were performed to detect the heterogeneity of different CRC treatments. Results: Thirty-four studies, with a combined total of 8834 patients, were eligible for this meta-analysis. Data on OS and CSS were available in 23 and 22 studies, respectively. By comparing the prognostic values of different levels of the GPS in CRC patients, the summary HRs for OS and CSS were 2.18 (95% CI 1.83-2.60) and 1.82 (95% CI 1.57-2.11), respectively. According to the different tumor stages, the subgroup analyses were stratified by different treatments, including curative or palliative therapy. The results robustly confirmed the prognostic role of the GPS/mGPS. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the GPS/mGPS is a novel and effective prognostic indicator for the OS and CSS of patients with CRC.

Abstract Background Several studies were conducted to explore the prognostic value of modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) in pancreatic cancer, which reported contradictory results. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to summarize and further investigate the correlation between mGPS and overall survival (OS) in pancreatic cancer. Methods A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, Cochrane library databases and OVID to identify eligible studies published from Jan 1, 2011 to June 20, 2020. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to detect the prognostic significance of mGPS in patients with pancreatic cancer. Results A total of 222 non-repetitive studies were identified, and 20 related studies that explored the association between survival outcomes and mGPS in pancreatic cancer patients were finally enrolled in this meta-analysis. The results showed a significant correlation between high level of mGPS and poor OS (HR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.20–1.89, P < 0.0001). Similar results were observed in the subgroup analyses based on the treatment regimen and research region. Conclusions Our study suggested the close association between poor prognosis and high level of mGPS, which will be helpful for future clinical applications in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis of prospective and retrospective studies to reveal the relationship between the Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) and overall survival (OS) or progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with lung cancer. Methods: Correlative studies were included by searching the databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and PubMed Cochrane Library until April 16, 2017. We combined the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the correlation between GPS and OS or PFS in patients with lung cancer. Results: Ten studies involving 5,369 participants from several regions were identified through searching databases. In a pooled analysis of all studies, elevated GPS was associated with poorer OS (HR = 2.058; 95% CI, 1.51-2.80; p<0.05). However, the combined data showed no significant relationship between the GPS of 1 or 2, and PFS, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that the patients with GPS ≥1 had poorer OS compared with those with GPS = 0 (HR = 2.01; 95% CI, 1.75-2.32; p<0.001). A similar trend was observed in patients receiving chemotherapy (HR = 1.66; 95% CI, 1.17-2.36; p<0.05) and surgery (HR = 2.88; 95% CI, 1.59-5.22; p<0.001) when stratified by treatment. Conclusions: Increased level of GPS may have a prognostic value in lung cancer. We detected a statistical difference in the association of elevated GPS and poorer OS, though the association was not significant in PFS settings. However, further studies are warranted to draw firm conclusions.

Background: The prognostic value of the modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) in patients with pancreatic cancer is controversial, based on previous studies. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to explore the relationship between mGPS and prognosis in pancreatic cancer. Methods: The databases PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched to identify eligible studies. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the associations between mGPS score and survival outcomes. Results: A total of 26 studies with 5198 patients were included in this meta-analysis. In a pooled analysis, elevated mGPS predicted poorer overall survival (OS; HR = 1.98, 95% CI, 1.65-2.37, P < .001). In addition, elevated mGPS was also significantly associated with worse progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS; HR = 1.95, 95% CI, 1.36-2.80, P < .001). Subgroup analyses confirmed a significant association between mGPS and survival outcomes. Conclusions: Our meta-analysis demonstrated that high mGPS was correlated to worse OS, PFS, DFS, and CSS in patients with pancreatic cancer. Therefore, mGPS could be employed as an effective prognostic factor for pancreatic cancer in clinical practice.
