Abstract: Objective: To explore the predictive value of preoperative hemoglobin, albumin-globulin ratio (HAGR) in the prognosis of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: A total of 235 patients with OSCC were enrolled. The correlation between HAGR and clinical parameters was analyzed by chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall (OS)and disease-free survival rates (DFS)of OSCC patients. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of OSCC patients. The nomogram was used to observe the survival probability of patients at a specific time point. Results: HAGR value was significantly correlated with gender (P=0.001 3), T stage (P=0.0218), BMI (P=0.024 7) and pathological grade (P=0.0247). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that HAGR was associated with overall (P<0. 001) and disease-free survival (P<0.00 1). Multivariate regression analysis showed that T stage (P=0.003), N stage (P=0.003) and HAGR (P=0.009) were independent predictors of overall survival in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. The nomogram showed that HAGR still had a greater weight in predicting survival compared with T stage and N stage. Conclusion: Preoperative HAGR can be used as a prognostic indicator to predict the prognosis of patients with OSCC.
