Prognostic value of nutritional and inflammatory indicators in females with esophageal squamous cell cancer: A propensity score matching study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) is a disease with a male predominance. Accordingly, the applicability of prognostic indicators values previously set for the general population with ESCC has not been reported for determining the physical state in females. Methods: Patients with ESCC were pooled from 2009 to 2017 at Sichuan Cancer Hospital. We determined the differences in the nutritional and inflammatory indicators between gender by sex-stratified survival analysis in all cohorts (n = 2,660) and matching cohorts (n = 483 pairs) separately. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to eliminate selection bias between genders. We further performed the prognostic value of total cholesterol (TC) by subgroup analysis in the female cohort. The are
