Abstract Background We aimed to investigate whether the HALP score was a predictor of survival in patients with Glioblastoma (GBM). Methods A total of 84 Glioblastoma (GBM) patients followed in our clinic were included in the study. HALP scores were calculated using the preoperative hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelet results of the patients. For the HALP score, a cut-off value was found by examining the area below the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Patients were divided into two groups as low and high according to this cut-off value. The relationships among the clinical, dermographic and laboratory parameters of the patients were examined using these two groups. Results Median OS, PFS, HALP score, NLR, PLR were 15 months (1.0–78.0), 8 months (1.0–66.0), 37.39 ± 23.84 (min 6.00-max 132.31), 4.14, 145.07 respectively. A statistically significant correlation was found between HALP score and OS, PFS, NLR, PLR, ECOG-PS status using Spearman’s rho test (p = 0.001, p 37.39 was associated with prolonged survival in high-grade brain tumors. |
