Summary |
Background |
Previous studies suggested a possible influence of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level on the prognosis of lung cancer patients, but conflicting findings were reported. A systematic review and meta-analysis was thus conducted to comprehensively assess the influence of circulating 25(OH)D level on the prognosis of lung cancer patients.
Methods |
Prospective or retrospective cohort studies assessing the influence of circulating 25(OH)D level on the prognosis of lung cancer patients were considered eligible. Hazard Ratios (HR) were pooled using meta-analysis.
Results |
Eight studies with 2166 lung cancer patients were included. Meta-analysis of unadjusted HRs from four studies showed low circulating 25(OH)D level was significantly correlated with poor overall survival in lung cancer (HR=1.30, 95%CI 1.08–1.55, P=0.004). Meta-analysis of adjusted HRs from eight studies suggested that low circulating 25(OH)D level was not significantly correlated with poor overall survival (HR=1.25; P=0.13). However, sensitivity analysis suggested an obvious change in the pooled HRs when excluding single study by turns. When the study by Liu et al. was omitted, low circulating 25(OH)D level was significantly correlated with poor overall survival (HR=1.34; P=0.04).
Conclusion |
The present systematic review and meta-analysis suggested a correlation between low circulating 25(OH)D level and poor overall survival in lung cancer. More studies are needed to further validate the finding above.
