Conclusion
We evaluated the predictive value
of LODDS in patients with advanced HPSCC, and
LODDS ≥ -0.91 was correlated with
poorer DFS (p<0.001). We compared the predictive value of both
ratios (LNR and LODDS) and pN for
OS and DFS and did not find a
greater predictive effect of LODDS over LNR and pN.
Meanwhile,
LNR provided a greater predictive
value than pN and LODDS in predicting DFS.
