Abstract Background In recent years, the role of pre-treatment C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) in prognosis of esophageal cancer (EC) has been investigated by several studies. This meta-analysis aimed to provide a more accurate and objective assessment of the prognostic value of pre-treatment CAR in EC. Methods Studies assessing the role of pre-treatment CAR in prognosis of EC were searched from PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library (last update by April 16, 2019). The hazard ratios (HRs) of CAR and the corresponding 95% CIs for overall survival (OS) or cancer-specific survival (CSS) in EC were extracted for pooled analysis. Results A total of eight observational studies including 2255 patients were collected. The pooled analysis showed that high CAR was related to worse OS in EC (pooled HR = 1.81; 95% CI = 1.40–2.35; P < 0.001). Subgroup analyses showed that the negative correlation between the CAR and OS was consistently demonstrated in subgroups stratified by country, pathological type, and cut-off value (P < 0.05). However, there was no relation between CAR and OS in subgroup of patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy at a proportion of 100% (HR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.56–2.69; P = 0.715). In addition, high CAR was also related to worse CSS in EC (pooled HR = 2.61; 95% CI = 1.67–4.06; P < 0.001). Conclusions High pre-treatment CAR was an adverse prognostic factor for EC patients. More large-sample clinical trials are still needed to verify the prognostic value of pre-treatment CAR in EC.

Prognostic Value of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Lipoprotein (a) in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients Receiving Emergency Percutaneous Coronary InterventionIn order to study the prognostic value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] in patients receiving emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we retrospectively reviewed 118 patients who received emergency PCI following AMI from January 2007 to April 2010. The plasma levels of hsCRP and Lp(a) were determined. The incidence of cardiovascular events was compared between patients with an elevated hsCRP level and those with a normal hsCRP level and between patients with an elevated Lp(a) level and those with a normal Lp(a) level. Results showed that the incidence of cardiovascular events was 52.9% in the hsCRP-elevated group and 18.2% in the hsCRP-normal group displaying a significant difference (P=0.011). However, the incidence of cardiovascular events was 35.3% in the Lp(a)-elevated group and 46.4% in the Lp(a)-normal group and statistical analysis revealed no significant difference (P=0.733). HsCRP, but not Lp(a), can serve as a prognostic factor for patients receiving emergency PCI following AMI.
