Background and purpose: The predictive role of modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS) for long-term survival in several types of cancers has been well manifested. We supposed that preoperative mGPS might also be associated with long-term survival of operated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The aim of this meta-analysis was to identify the prognostic value of preoperative mGPS in surgical NSCLC patients. Methods: The PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE and CNKI databases were searched for relevant studies up to November 7, 2022. The primary and secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), respectively. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined. Results: A total of 3,803 patients from 11 studies were enrolled and analyzed. The combined results demonstrated elevated preoperative mGPS was significantly related to poorer OS (HR = 2.11, 95% CI: 1.83–2.44, P < 0.001) and DFS (HR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.42–2.03, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis for the OS further identified the predictive role of elevated preoperative mGPS for worse OS in NSCLC. Conclusion: Preoperative mGPS was significantly associated with prognosis in NSCLC and patients with elevated preoperative mGPS experienced poorer long-term survival.
