OBJECTIVEThe object of this study was to investigate the impact of facility type (academic center [AC] vs non-AC) and facility volume (high-volume facility [HVF] vs low-volume facility [LVF]) on low-grade glioma (LGG) outcomes.METHODSThis retrospective cohort study included 5539 LGG patients (2004–2014) from the National Cancer Database. Patients were categorized by facility type and volume (non-AC vs AC, HVF vs LVF). An HVF was defined as the top 1% of facilities according to the number of annual cases. Outcomes included overall survival, treatment receipt, and postoperative outcomes. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional-hazards models were applied. The Heller explained relative risk was computed to assess the relative importance of each survival predictor.RESULTSSignificant survival advantages were observed at HVFs (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.55–0.82, p < 0.001) and ACs (HR 0.84, 95% CI 0.73–0.97, p = 0.015), both prior to and after adjusting for all covariates. Tumor resection was 41% and 26% more likely to be performed at HVFs vs LVFs and ACs vs non-ACs, respectively. Chemotherapy was 40% and 88% more frequently to be utilized at HVFs vs LVFs and ACs vs non-ACs, respectively. Prolonged length of stay (LOS) was decreased by 42% and 24% at HVFs and ACs, respectively. After tumor histology, tumor pattern, and codeletion of 1p19q, facility type and surgical procedure were the most important contributors to survival variance. The main findings remained consistent using propensity score matching and multiple imputation.CONCLUSIONSThis study provides evidence of survival benefits among LGG patients treated at HVFs and ACs. An increased likelihood of undergoing resections, receiving adjuvant therapies, having shorter LOSs, and the multidisciplinary environment typically found at ACs and HVFs are important contributors to the authors’ finding.

The Impact

Background. We previously showed that grading can prognosticate the outcome of retroperitoneal liposarcoma (LPS). In the present study, we aimed to explore the impact of pathological stratification using grading on the clinical outcomes of patients with advanced well-differentiated LPS (WDLPS) and dedifferentiated LPS (DDLPS) treated with trabectedin. Patients: We included patients with advanced WDLPS and DDLPS treated with trabectedin at the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori between April 2003 and November 2019. Tumors were categorized in WDLPS, low-grade DDLPS, and high-grade DDLPS according to the 2020 WHO classification. Patients were divided in two cohorts: Low-grade (WDLPS/low-grade DDLPS) and high-grade (high-grade DDLPS). Results: A total of 49 patients were included: 17 (35%) in the low-grade cohort and 32 (65%) in the high-grade cohort. Response rate was 47% in the low-grade cohort versus 9.4% in the high-grade cohort (logistic regression p = 0.006). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 13.7 months in the low-grade cohort and 3.2 months in the high-grade cohort. Grading was confirmed as an independent predictor of PFS in the Cox proportional-hazards regression multivariable model (adjusted hazard ratio low-grade vs. high-grade: 0.45, 95% confidence interval: 0.22–0.94; adjusted p = 0.035). Conclusions: In this retrospective case series, sensitivity to trabectedin was higher in WDLPS/low-grade DDLPS than in high-grade DDLPS. If confirmed in larger series, grading could represent an effective tool to personalize the treatment with trabectedin in patients with advanced LPS.

ObjectiveTo determine the impact of achieving serum uric acid (sUA) of <0.36 mmol/L on overall and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in patients with gout.MethodsProspective cohort of patients with gout recruited from 1992 to 2017. Exposure was defined as the average sUA recorded during the first year of follow-up, dichotomised as ≤ or >0.36 mmol/L. Bivariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine mortality risks, expressed HRs and 95% CIs.ResultsOf 1193 patients, 92% were men with a mean age of 60 years, 6.8 years’ disease duration, an average of three to four flares in the previous year, a mean sUA of 9.1 mg/dL at baseline and a mean follow-up 48 months; and 158 died. Crude mortality rates were significantly higher for an sUA of ≥0.36 mmol/L, 80.9 per 1000 patient-years (95% CI 59.4 to 110.3), than for an sUA of <0.36 mmol/L, 25.7 per 1000 patient-years (95% CI 21.3 to 30.9). After adjustment for age, sex, CV risk factors, previous CV events, observation period and baseline sUA concentration, an sUA of ≥0.36 mmol/L was associated with elevated overall mortality (HR=2.33, 95% CI 1.60 to 3.41) and CV mortality (HR=2.05, 95% CI 1.21 to 3.45).ConclusionsFailure to reach a target sUA level of 0.36 mmol/L in patients with hyperuricaemia of gout is an independent predictor of overall and CV-related mortality. Targeting sUA levels of <0.36 mmol/L should be a principal goal in these high-risk patients in order to reduce CV events and to extend patient survival.

4138 Background: Multiple case series have described the use of current therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but recent estimates of treatment utilization in the general population and the impact of various treatments on survival are not known. Methods: We first identified 2898 adults diagnosed with HCC with known tumor size and stage in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End-Results Program (SEER), from 1998–2002. Treatment was categorized as transplant, resection, ablation, or none of these. We created a second data set of 1856 HCC patients who were potentially operable, as defined by SEER. We used these patients to construct Kaplan-Meier survival curves and adjusted Cox proportional hazards models. Results: The median age of the larger cohort at HCC diagnosis was 62 (range:18–96). Approximately 42% were white, 32% Asian, 16% Hispanic, and 10% African American. Overall, 10% received a transplant, 18% resection, 8% ablation, and 65% none of these. Only 5% of African Americans with HCC received a transplant, versus 12% of whites, 10% of Hispanics, and 8% of Asians. Asians were most likely to receive resection (24%) and ablation (9%), and least likely to have non-surgical treatment (60%). Using the restricted cohort, improved survival in the multivariate analysis was seen with later year of diagnosis, younger age, female sex, Asian race, smaller tumor size, lower tumor grade, and localized disease. Treatment was highly correlated with survival. This was greatest in the transplanted group (1, 3, and 5-year survivals 93%, 79%, and 71%), followed by resection (70%, 45%, and 29%), and ablation (71%, 33%, and 18%). The non-surgical group had poor survival (33%, 9%, and 0%). Conclusions: Transplantation yields excellent survival on a population scale, similar to reported series, and resection gives relatively good outcomes as well. Asians are more likely to be resected and ablated than other groups. They also had better survival than other groups, perhaps due to underlying etiology of HCC (hepatitis B) and better preserved liver function. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e15682 Background: HCC is a common cause of mortality in the U.S. among men and women (5thand 7th, respectively) with overall five-year survival of ~18%. Sorafenib was the only FDA approved therapy for advanced HCC from 2007 until 2018. This study analyzes trends in the treatment and survival of advanced HCC before and after sorafenib approval. Methods: Adult patients ( > 18 years) with diagnosis of HCC treated with only chemotherapy from 2004 – 2014 were identified in NCDB database. Comparisons were made between 3 time frames: 2004 – 2007 (pre-sorafenib), 2008 – 2011 (early sorafenib) and 2012 – 2014 (late sorafenib). Patients treated with single or multi-agent chemotherapy were analyzed. Cox proportional hazards models were used for univariate and multivariable analyses. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Results: The NCDB contained 33,136 patients with HCC diagnosed between 2004 – 2014 and treated with chemotherapy alone. Patients were generally men (77.4%), over the age of 50 years (92.4%), with an elevated AFP at diagnosis (64.4%), and had limited co-morbidities (76.0%, Charlson/Deyo score of 0-1). The T-stages were T1 (26.3%), T2 (20.5%), T3 (25.6%), and T4 (16.2%). The number and proportion of patients treated with single agent chemotherapy increased significantly during the study period: 2,733 (45.3%) pre-sorafenib, 9,723 (72.7%) early sorafenib, and 13,502 (86.1%) late sorafenib. The proportion of all HCC patients in the NCDB receiving only chemotherapy increased from 17.2% to 26.4% to 28.3% across the 3 time frames. The survival of patients with advanced HCC treated only with chemotherapy improved significantly in the early and late sorafenib cohorts compared to the pre-sorafenib cohort (10.3 months (95% CI: 9.8-10.6) vs. 12.3 months (12.0-12.7) vs. 15.5 months (15.1-15.9), p-value < 0.001). Age > 70 years, male sex, higher Charlson/Deyo score ( > 1), elevated AFP at diagnosis, and higher T-stage were associated with worse survival (p value < 0.001). Conclusions: The approval of sorafenib has dramatically increased the use of chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced HCC and has resulted in a significant survival advantage.

Abstract Background Racial disparities in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) phenotypic presentations and outcomes are recognised. However, there are conflicting data from Western population-based cohort studies as to whether racial differences in colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence exists. To our knowledge this is the first study to investigate the impact of ethnicity on the natural history of dysplasia in ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods We performed a retrospective multi-centre cohort study of adult patients with UC whose first low-grade dysplasia (LGD) diagnosis within the extent of colitis was made between 1 January 2001 and 30 December 2018. Only patients with at least one follow-up colonoscopy or colectomy by 30 August 2019 were included. The study end point was time to CRC or end of follow-up. Statistical differences between groups were evaluated using Mann-Whitney U tests and Chi-squared tests. Survival analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier estimation and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. Results 408 patients met the inclusion criteria (see Figure 1 for patient and clinical demographics). More patients from a Black or Asian (BAME) background progressed to CRC [13.4% vs. 6.4%; p=0.036] compared to their White Caucasian counterparts, despite having surveillance follow-up. Figure 2 displays Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrating the probability of remaining CRC-free after LGD diagnosis and categorised by ethnicity. BAME patients were more likely to have moderate-severe inflammatory activity on colonic biopsy within the 5 preceding years [42.0% vs. 28.9%; p=0.023], but no significant differences in medication use and a longer median time interval from LGD diagnosis to colectomy date [32 months vs. 11 months; p=0.021]. After adjusting for sex, age and UC duration at time of LGD diagnosis and presence of moderate-severe histological inflammation, being Black or Asian was a predictive factor for CRC progression on multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis [HR 2.97 (95% CI 1.22 – 7.20); p = 0.016]. However, ethnicity was no longer predictive of CRC progression on sub-analysis of the 317 patients who did not have a colectomy during the follow-up period. Conclusion In this UK multi-centre cohort of UC surveillance patients diagnosed with LGD, delays in receiving cancer preventative colectomy may contribute to an increased CRC incidence in certain ethnic groups. Further work is required to elucidate whether these delays are related to institutional factors (e.g. inequity in the content of decision-making support given or access to healthcare) or cultural factors.

Abstract Purpose To assess the impact of concomitant emphysema on outcomes in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Methods The IPF-PRO Registry is a US registry of patients with IPF. The presence of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) at enrollment was determined by investigators’ review of an HRCT scan. Associations between emphysema and clinical outcomes were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models. Results Of 934 patients, 119 (12.7%) had CPFE. Compared with patients with IPF alone, patients with CPFE were older (median 72 vs 70 years); higher proportions were current/former smokers (88.2% vs 63.7%), used oxygen with activity (49.6% vs 31.9%) or at rest (30.8% vs 18.4%), had congestive heart failure (13.6% vs 4.8%) and had prior respiratory hospitalization (25.0% vs 16.7%); they had higher FVC (median 71.8 vs 69.4% predicted) and lower DLco (median 35.3 vs 43.6% predicted). In patients with CPFE and IPF alone, respectively, at 1 year, rates of death or lung transplant were 17.5% (95% CI: 11.7, 25.8) and 11.2% (9.2, 13.6) and rates of hospitalization were 21.6% (14.6, 29.6) and 20.6% (17.9, 23.5). There were no significant associations between emphysema and any outcome after adjustment for baseline variables. No baseline variable predicted outcomes better in IPF alone than in CPFE. Conclusion Approximately 13% of patients in the IPF-PRO Registry had CPFE. Physiologic characteristics and comorbidities of patients with CPFE differed from those of patients with IPF alone, but the presence of emphysema did not drive outcomes after adjustment for baseline covariates.

AimsTo assess the impact of anxiety and depression in the risk of converting to glaucoma in a cohort of glaucoma suspects followed over time.MethodsThe study included a retrospective cohort of subjects with diagnosis of glaucoma suspect at baseline, extracted from the Duke Glaucoma Registry. The presence of anxiety and depression was defined based on electronic health records billing codes, medical history and problem list. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to obtain HRs for the risk of converting to glaucoma over time. Multivariable models were adjusted for age, gender, race, intraocular pressure measurements over time and disease severity at baseline.ResultsA total of 3259 glaucoma suspects followed for an average of 3.60 (2.05) years were included in our cohort, of which 911 (28%) were diagnosed with glaucoma during follow-up. Prevalence of anxiety and depression were 32% and 33%, respectively. Diagnoses of anxiety, or concomitant anxiety and depression were significantly associated with risk of converting to glaucoma over time, with adjusted HRs (95% CI) of 1.16 (1.01, 1.33) and 1.27 (1.07, 1.50), respectively.ConclusionA history of anxiety or both anxiety and depression in glaucoma suspects was associated with developing glaucoma during follow-up.

e14016 Background: Improvements in survival for advanced-stage CRC patients who receive chemotherapy have been reported. We compared survival rates for patients with 3+ vs. <3 lines of therapy. Methods: Adult patients with a diagnosis of CRC between 01/01/05 and 05/31/10 were identified from the Impact Intelligence Oncology Management (IIOM) registry. Patients with either stage 4 CRC at original diagnosis or development of metastasis were included. Registry data included original stage and date of diagnosis. Linked healthcare claims from the Life Sciences Research Database, a large US health insurance database affiliated with OptumInsight, were used to identify lines of therapy after metastases and patient characteristics. Death data were obtained from the Social Security Administration’s master death file. Patients were categorized by number of lines of therapy received (0, 1, 2, 3+) and original stage at diagnosis (0-2, 3, 4, unknown). Survival following metastases was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models controlling for lines of therapy received, stage, and other patient characteristics. Results: 598 patients, followed for a mean of 653 days after becoming metastatic, were included. Mean unadjusted length of follow-up was lowest among patients who received no chemotherapy (516 days) or only 1 line (511 days), and increased to 627 days for those with 2 lines and 930 days for those with 3+ lines. However, multivariate analysis indicated that patients with 3+ lines had comparable survival vs. those with 0 (HR=0.79), 1 (HR=1.59), or 2 (HR=1.15) lines of therapy (p>0.05 for all comparisons). Compared to patients who presented with stage 4 CRC, those who progressed from stage 0-2 (HR=1.22), stage 3 (HR=0.83), or unknown stage (HR=1.18) had similar survival after metastases (p>0.05 for all comparisons). After excluding 94 patients who didn’t receive chemotherapy, patients treated with an oxaliplatin-based regimen (HR=1.28; p=0.24) in first line had similar survival compared to patients treated with an irinotecan-based or anti-EGFR regimen in first line. Conclusions: Lines of therapy received and initial stage were not associated with survival after development of metastases.

119 Background: Radiotherapy (RT) interruptions have a negative impact on outcomes in many epithelial malignancies treated with definitive RT. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of RT duration on outcomes in patients (pts) with esophageal cancer treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Methods: Pts treated with definitive CRT on RTOG trials 8501 and 9405 were included. Separate analyses were performed in pts receiving standard dose (SD-CRT; 50 Gy + 5FU + cisplatin) and high dose (HD-CRT; 64.8 Gy + 5FU + cisplatin) CRT. Local (LF) and regional (RF) failure were estimated by the cumulative incidence method. Disease-free (DFS) and overall (OS) survival were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate (UVA) and multivariate (MVA) Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to examine for correlation between RT duration (< vs. ≥ median) with LF, RF, DFS and OS. Results: In the SD-CRT cohort (n=235), 96 pts (41%) had ≥ 1 RT interruption for a median of 3 (IQR 1-6) days. The median RT duration was 39 (IQR 37-43) days. In UVA and MVA, RT duration was not associated with LF, RF, DFS, or OS. Estimated outcome rates are in the table. In the HD-CRT cohort (n=107), 64 pts (60%) had ≥ 1 RT interruption for a median of 3.5 (IQR 2-7.5) days. The median RT duration was 52 (IQR 50-57) days. In UVA, RT duration ≥ 52 days was associated with a 33% reduction in risk of DFS failure (HR=0.66, 95% CI [0.44-0.98], p=0.039) and a 29% reduction in risk of death (HR=0.71, 95% CI [0.48-1.06], p=0.09). When excluding the 25 pts with RT dose < 64.8 Gy, RT duration was not associated with DFS or OS. Conclusions: In pts with esophageal cancer receiving definitive SD-CRT, an association between RT duration and outcomes was not observed. In pts receiving HD-CRT, longer RT duration was associated with improved DFS, which may have been due to a significant number of deaths at RT dose < 64.8 Gy.

5023 Background: The addition of APA to ongoing ADT in pts with nmCRPC significantly prolonged metastasis-free survival (MFS), time to symptomatic progression (SymProg), and second progression-free survival (PFS2) in SPARTAN. We assessed the impact of APA on these end points in pts with or without BL CM. Methods: Using Cox proportional hazards models, treatment effect of APA was evaluated in SPARTAN pts with CM at BL, stratifying by the presence of BL diabetes/hyperglycemia (D/H), cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypertension (HTN), and renal insufficiency (RI). Results: Of 1207 SPARTAN pts, 1062 (88%) had ≥ 1 BL CM, including 703/806 (87%) APA pts and 359/401 (90%) PBO pts. A total of 226 (19%), 398 (33%), 798 (66%), and 774 (64%) pts had D/H, CVD, HTN, and RI, respectively; 323 (27%), 412 (34%), 259 (21%), and 68 (6%) pts had 1, 2, 3, and 4 CM, respectively. Incidence of CM was balanced between arms. Pts with CM were older than pts with no CM (median age, 75 vs 69 yrs, APA; 74 vs 69 yrs, PBO). MFS, SymProg, and PFS2 benefit with APA was significant in all CM subgroups, except PFS2 for pts with D/H (Table) and regardless of the number of CM. The incidence of any treatment-emergent AE was balanced between pts with and without CM. AEs with APA were not affected by any CM. Clinical trial information: NCT01946204. Conclusions: The benefit of APA + ongoing ADT in pts with nmCRPC was maintained in pts with D/H, CVD, HTN, and RI. The safety profile of APA was not affected by any CM.[Table: see text]
