Abstract

Background: In this meta-analysis, we investigated C-reactive protein (CRP)'s role in glioma prognosis prediction.Methods: We conducted the current meta-analysis in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. An analysis of the prognostic effect of CRP on glioma was conducted using combined hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Results: The combined data suggested that a higher CRP level was markedly related to poor overall survival in glioma (hazard ratio: 1.73; 95% CI: 1.22-2.46; p=0.002).Conclusion: According to results in the present meta-analysis, elevated CRP levels were significantly related to inferior overall survival in glioma.
