Abstract EN
Objectives.
The prognostic value of inflammatory index in esophageal cancer (EC) was not established.
In the present study, we initially used a nomogram to predict prognostic value of red cell distribution width (RDW) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Methods.
A total of 277 ESCC patients were included in this retrospective study.
Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cancer-specific survival (CSS).
A nomogram was established to predict the prognosis for CSS.
Results.
The mean value of RDW was 14.5 ± 2.3%.
The patients were then divided into two groups: RDW ≥ 14.5% and RDW < 14.5%.
Patients with RDW < 14.5% had a significantly better 5-year CSS than patients with RDW ≥ 14.5% (43.9% versus 23.3%, P < 0.001).
RDW was an independent prognostic factor in patients with ESCC (P = 0.036).
A nomogram could be more accurate for CSS.
Harrell’s c-index for CSS prediction was 0.68.
Conclusion.
RDW was a potential prognostic biomarker in patients with ESCC.
The nomogram based on CSS could be used as an accurately prognostic prediction for patients with ESCC.
