Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between preoperative serum transferrin level and long-term outcomes in patients with colorectal liver metastases after hepatic resection.
Methods
We retrospectively investigated 72 patients who underwent hepatic resection for colorectal liver metastases and explored the relationship between serum transferrin level and long-term outcomes.
Results
In multivariate analysis, H3 (odds ratio 3.43, 95% confidence interval 1.11–10.89 and P = 0.03) was an independent and significant predictor of the disease-free survival, and a transferrin level ≥ 190 mg/dl (odds ratio 0.20, 95% confidence interval 0.05–0.79 and P = 0.02) and the time to recurrence after hepatectomy <1 year (odds ratio 11.30, 95% confidence interval 2.63–48.59 and P < 0.01) were independent and significant predictors of the overall survival.
Conclusions
The serum transferrin level is a useful predictor of poor overall survival in patients with colorectal liver metastases after hepatic reaction.
