Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the impact of prognostic markers on the outcomes of Hodgkin lymphoma. Methods: It is a cross-sectional, single-center study. A total of 60 patients diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma were recruited for the study over five years between 2016 to 2020. The study setting was the National Institute of Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant in Pakistan. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used for statistical analysis. Results: In the study population, 63.3% of the patients were male (38/60), and 36.7% were female (22/60). Hodgkin lymphoma was divided into four stages: stage I (18.3%), stage II (18.3%), stage III (46.7%), and stage IV (16.7%). Patients in stage III had a higher value of hemoglobin (Hb) than in other stages of the disease. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was high in 56.7% of stage III patients than in patients of the other stages. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were not under the normal range in 51.6% of patients. Only 20% of patients in stage III had LDH values within the normal range, whereas 26.6% did not. Conclusion: There was a significant impact of prognostic factors on the survival of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The early progression of disease (POD) of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) leads to a poor prognosis. To identify risk factors for early POD, this retrospective two-center cohort analysis was conducted. METHODS Medical records of HL patients between 1998 and 2020 from two referral centers were reviewed. RESULTS Two-hundred and sixty-nine patients were analyzed. The distribution of early vs. advanced stages was 51.1 vs. 48.9%, respectively. The 5-year progression free survival (PFS) was 63%, and the overall survival (OS) was 87% with a median follow-up of 52.0 months. The complete remission (CR) rate was 85.7%. Disease progression or relapsed disease occurred in 33.9% (n = 85) of patients while 17.0% of this cohort had early POD within 12 months of induction therapy. Patients with early POD had a worse median OS than those without (p < 0.001). Failure to achieve post-induction CR and high international prognostic score (IPS, 3-7) were independent risk factors for early POD. Compared with chemotherapy alone, consolidative radiotherapy after induction chemotherapy was associated with a lower risk of early POD (21.3% vs. 6.2%, p = 0.006). CONCLUSION High IPS was an independent risk factor for early POD, which was less observed in those with consolidative radiotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is one of the most common haematological malignancies in young adults and, with cure rates of 90%, has become curable for the majority of individuals. Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging tool used to monitor a tumour's metabolic activity, stage and progression. Interim PET during chemotherapy has been posited as a prognostic factor in individuals with HL to distinguish between those with a poor prognosis and those with a better prognosis. This distinction is important to inform decision-making on the clinical pathway of individuals with HL. OBJECTIVES To determine whether in previously untreated adults with HL receiving first-line therapy, interim PET scan results can distinguish between those with a poor prognosis and those with a better prognosis, and thereby predict survival outcomes in each group. SEARCH METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL and conference proceedings up until April 2019. We also searched one trial registry (ClinicalTrials.gov). SELECTION CRITERIA We included retrospective and prospective studies evaluating interim PET scans in a minimum of 10 individuals with HL (all stages) undergoing first-line therapy. Interim PET was defined as conducted during therapy (after one, two, three or four treatment cycles). The minimum follow-up period was at least 12 months. We excluded studies if the trial design allowed treatment modification based on the interim PET scan results. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We developed a data extraction form according to the Checklist for Critical Appraisal and Data Extraction for Systematic Reviews of Prediction Modelling Studies (CHARMS). Two teams of two review authors independently screened the studies, extracted data on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and PET-associated adverse events (AEs), assessed risk of bias (per outcome) according to the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool, and assessed the certainty of the evidence (GRADE). We contacted investigators to obtain missing information and data. MAIN RESULTS Our literature search yielded 11,277 results. In total, we included 23 studies (99 references) with 7335 newly-diagnosed individuals with classic HL (all stages). Participants in 16 studies underwent (interim) PET combined with computed tomography (PET-CT), compared to PET only in the remaining seven studies. The standard chemotherapy regimen included ABVD (16) studies, compared to BEACOPP or other regimens (seven studies). Most studies (N = 21) conducted interim PET scans after two cycles (PET2) of chemotherapy, although PET1, PET3 and PET4 were also reported in some studies. In the meta-analyses, we used PET2 data if available as we wanted to ensure homogeneity between studies. In most studies interim PET scan results were evaluated according to the Deauville 5-point scale (N = 12). Eight studies were not included in meta-analyses due to missing information and/or data; results were reported narratively. For the remaining studies, we pooled the unadjusted hazard ratio (HR). The timing of the outcome measurement was after two or three years (the median follow-up time ranged from 22 to 65 months) in the pooled studies. Eight studies explored the independent prognostic ability of interim PET by adjusting for other established prognostic factors (e.g. disease stage, B symptoms). We did not pool the results because the multivariable analyses adjusted for a different set of factors in each study. Overall survival Twelve (out of 23) studies reported OS. Six of these were assessed as low risk of bias in all of the first four domains of QUIPS (study participation, study attrition, prognostic factor measurement and outcome measurement). The other six studies were assessed as unclear, moderate or high risk of bias in at least one of these four domains. Four studies were assessed as low risk, and eight studies as high risk of bias for the domain other prognostic factors (covariates). Nine studies were assessed as low risk, and three studies as high risk of bias for the domain 'statistical analysis and reporting'. We pooled nine studies with 1802 participants. Participants with HL who have a negative interim PET scan result probably have a large advantage in OS compared to those with a positive interim PET scan result (unadjusted HR 5.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.64 to 9.81, I² = 44%, moderate-certainty evidence). In absolute values, this means that 900 out of 1000 participants with a negative interim PET scan result will probably survive longer than three years compared to 585 (95% CI 356 to 757) out of 1000 participants with a positive result. Adjusted results from two studies also indicate an independent prognostic value of interim PET scan results (moderate-certainty evidence). Progression-free survival Twenty-one studies reported PFS. Eleven out of 21 were assessed as low risk of bias in the first four domains. The remaining were assessed as unclear, moderate or high risk of bias in at least one of the four domains. Eleven studies were assessed as low risk, and ten studies as high risk of bias for the domain other prognostic factors (covariates). Eight studies were assessed as high risk, thirteen as low risk of bias for statistical analysis and reporting. We pooled 14 studies with 2079 participants. Participants who have a negative interim PET scan result may have an advantage in PFS compared to those with a positive interim PET scan result, but the evidence is very uncertain (unadjusted HR 4.90, 95% CI 3.47 to 6.90, I² = 45%, very low-certainty evidence). This means that 850 out of 1000 participants with a negative interim PET scan result may be progression-free longer than three years compared to 451 (95% CI 326 to 569) out of 1000 participants with a positive result. Adjusted results (not pooled) from eight studies also indicate that there may be an independent prognostic value of interim PET scan results (low-certainty evidence). PET-associated adverse events No study measured PET-associated AEs. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS This review provides moderate-certainty evidence that interim PET scan results predict OS, and very low-certainty evidence that interim PET scan results predict progression-free survival in treated individuals with HL. This evidence is primarily based on unadjusted data. More studies are needed to test the adjusted prognostic ability of interim PET against established prognostic factors.
