The stratification of risk factors based on the International Staging System(ISS), Durie-Salmon(DS)staging and related indicators is affected by the renal function of patients,resulting in poor performance. This study assesses the relationship between interleukin-32(IL-32) and related risk factors in 67 patients with MM and their clinical outcomes.AIM To investigate the feasibility of IL-32 in evaluating prognosis in patients with MM and the factors influencing prognosis.METHODS This was a pragmatic, prospective observational study of patients with MM at a single center. According to IL-32 level, patients were divided into two groups.The variables under consideration included age, blood β2-microglobulin,albumin, C-reactive protein, serum calcium, serum creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, M protein type, ISS stage, DS stage, and IL-32 levels and minimal residual disease(MRD) after induction treatment. The main outcomes were progression-free survival(PFS) and overall survival(OS).RESULTS IL-32 was an important factor affecting PFS and OS in patients with MM.Compared with patients with IL-32 levels ≥ 856.4 pg/m L, patients with IL-32 levels < 856.4 pg/m L had longer PFS(P = 0.0387) and OS(P = 0.0379);Univariate analysis showed that IL-32 level and MRD were significantly associated with OS and PFS(P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that IL-32 levels ≥ 856.4 pg/m L and MRD positive were still independent risk factors for OS and PFS(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION IL-32 is valuable for assessing the prognosis of MM patients. IL-32 level combined with MRD may be a useful routine evaluation index for MM patients after treatment.展开更多
