The Prognostic Significance of the Fibrinogen-to-Albumin Ratio in Patients With Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to investigate the potential prognostic value of fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Methods

This study used a retrospective design and enrolled 224 patients with TNBC treated between January 2009 and December 2014 at the Henan Provincial People's Hospital. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to determine the optimal cut-off value for FAR. The associations between TNBC and clinicopathologic categorical variables by FAR were analyzed using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. The survival time and survival curve were determined by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and compared using the Log-rank method. The potential prognostic factors were determined using univariate and
