The value of the indexes before the treatment was calculated. SPSS 25.0 software was used for the analysis, and the cutoff values of the indexes were determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The prognostic value of the indexes was evaluated according to the overall survival rate (OS), progression-free survival rate (PFS), and the incidence of toxic side effects.Results: The index CLR was found to be the predictor of mortality of nasopharyngeal carcinoma but not the indicator for toxicity.Conclusion: The index CLR can be used for risk-stratification. However, whether the risk-stratification treatment based on these indicators can improve the prognosis subsequently needs further prospective study.Keywords: nasopharyngeal carcinoma, C-reactive protein/albumin ratio, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein/albumin ratio, C-reactive protein/lymphocyte ratio, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein/lymphocyte ratio, survival, toxicity |
