Popis: | BACKGROUND Adults with impaired performance status (PS) often receive immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) despite limited efficacy data and unknown effects on end-of-life care. METHODS This was a retrospective, single-site study of 237 patients with advanced NSCLC who initiated ICI treatment from 2015 to 2017. Cox regression was used to compare the overall survival (OS) of patients who had impaired PS (≥2) at the start of ICI treatment with those who had PS 0 or 1 using Cox regression. Logistic regression was conducted to analyze the association between ICI use in the last 30 days of life and the use of end-of-life health care. RESULTS The patient mean age at ICI initiation was 67 years (range, 37-91 years), and 35.4% of patients had PS ≥2. Most patients (80.8%) received ICI as second-line or later therapy. The median OS was 4.5 months in patients with PS ≥2 and 14.3 months in those with PS 0 or 1 (hazard ratio, 2.5; P |
