Summary: | Background
The optimal prognostic predictive system for gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) has not been established. The gallbladder cancer predictive risk score (GBRS) based on pathological findings identifies incidental GBC patients at risk of recurrence.
Objective
We aimed to validate the prognostic ability of the GBRS in all GBC patients following curative surgery.
Methods
Fifty-six patients with GBC who underwent curative surgery between 1996 and 2016 were included in this study. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine prognostic factors associated with overall and recurrence-free survival, and propensity score-matched analysis was performed.
Results
The median patient age was 71.9 years, and 39.3% of patients were males. All patients underwent curative surgery (33.9%, simple cholecystectomy; 66.1%, more advanced procedures, such as hepatectomy; and 32.1%, bile duct reconstruction). On univariate analysis, preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19–9) ≥ 37 U/mL (
p
= 0.042), postoperative complications (
