High levels of acute phase reactants can be associated with adverse outcome in patients with various solid tumor types. For patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), this correlation is unknown. We retrospectively investigated the prognostic value of pretreatment acute phase protein levels in 282 consecutive newly diagnosed AML patients undergoing at least one cycle of intensive induction chemotherapy. We applied a new score integrating pre-treatment C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, and albumin levels termed the CFA ratio, and we stratified patients into two groups: Patients with a CFA ratio below 3.06 had decisively better progression free (26.2 vs. 7.7 months; P<.001), disease free (56.4 vs. 8.7 months; P<.001) and overall survival (61.2 vs. 13.8 months; P<.001). Results remained significant when adjusting for confounders including ELN risk group. Early mortality also tended to be lower in the low CFA ratio group. Finally, patients with lower modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) similarly had better outcome. In conclusion, our data suggest that an elevated CFA ratio as well as a high mGPS are associated with adverse outcome in patients with newly diagnosed AML undergoing intensive induction. These parameters should undergo prospective evaluation for their contribution to risk profiling in AML patients.
