## TL;DR

This study examines clinical features and survival outcomes in 85 patients with follicular lymphoma, focusing on elderly patients and the role of geriatric assessment.

## Contribution

The study evaluates the prognostic value of comprehensive geriatric assessment in elderly follicular lymphoma patients in China.

## Key findings

- Most follicular lymphoma patients are middle-aged or elderly, with a median age of 59 years.
- Age ≥60 years, B symptoms, and specific prognostic indices are significant predictors of survival outcomes.
- Comprehensive geriatric assessment may help predict prognosis and guide treatment in elderly patients.

## Abstract

探讨初治滤泡淋巴瘤（FL）患者的临床特征与预后，以及老年综合评估（comprehensive geriatric assessment，CGA）对国内年龄≥60岁FL患者的预后价值。

收集2011年8月至2022年6月收治的85例初诊FL患者临床资料及预后情况。统计分析患者临床特征、实验室指标、治疗疗效、生存及预后因素，使用多种老年评估工具对患者预后分层。

①FL患者多为中老年起病，中位发病年龄59（20～87）岁，其中年龄≥60岁者41例（48.2％），男女比例为1∶1.36。77.6％的患者诊断时Ann Arbor分期为Ⅲ～Ⅳ期，伴有B症状17例（20.0％），骨髓侵犯最常见（34.1％）。②71例患者接受一线系统化疗和（或）免疫治疗，可评估疗效的68例患者中总缓解率为86.8％，完全缓解率为47.1％。其中17例患者（23.9％）在治疗2年内病情进展或复发，共计10例（14.1％）患者死亡。③R-CHOP治疗组生存分析示：中位随访52.9（10.2～138.8）个月，3年无进展生存（PFS）率及总生存（OS）率分别为85.2％和95.9％，5年PFS率及OS率为72.8％和88.8％。单因素分析年龄≥60岁（HR＝3.430，95％ CI 1.256～9.371，P＝0.016）、B症状（HR＝5.030，95％ CI 1.903～13.294，P＝0.001）、预后营养指数（PNI）<45.25（HR＝3.478，95％ CI 1.299～9.310，P＝0.013）、FL国际预后指数（FLIPI）高危（HR＝2.918，95％ CI 1.074～7.928，P＝0.036）、PRIMA预后指数（PRIMA-PI）高危（HR＝2.745，95％ CI 1.057～7.129，P＝0.038）是PFS的不良预后因素。POD24（HR＝9.160，95％ CI 1.202～69.830，P＝0.033）是OS的不良预后因素。多因素分析中年龄≥60岁（HR＝3.002，95％ CI 1.014～8.889，P＝0.047），B症状（HR＝3.810，95％ CI 1.052～13.801，P＝0.042）能独立预测PFS，未发现影响OS的独立预测因素。

FL多为中老年女性患者。年龄、B症状、PNI、FLIPI、PRIMA-PI、POD24是影响FL患者PFS和OS的重要因素。CGA对预测老年FL预后及指导治疗均可能具有一定价值。
