LID - 10.3390/cancers16061136 [doi] LID - 1136 AB - Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) were proven effective in inducing tumor regression. However, its toxicity tends to be fatal. We sought to investigate the hospital volume/outcomes relationship. Databases were searched for studies reporting immune-checkpoint inhibitors adverse events (AEs) in patients with solid-organ malignancies. The outcomes were A) the pooled events rate (PER) of grade 5, grade 3-4, cardiac-related, and pulmonary-related AEs, and B) the assessment of the volume/outcomes relationship. One hundred and forty-seven studies met our inclusion criteria. The PER of grade 5, grade 3-4, and any-grade AEs was 2.75% (95%CI: 2.18-3.47), 26.69% (95%CI: 21.60-32.48), and 77.80% (95%CI: 70.91-83.44), respectively. The PER of pulmonary-related AEs was 4.56% (95%CI: 3.76-5.53). A higher number of annual cases per center was significantly associated with reduced grade 5 (p = 0.019), grade 3-4 (p = 0.004), and cardiac-related AEs (p = 0.035) in the meta-regression. In the current era of cancer immunotherapy, knowledge regarding the early diagnosis and management of immunotherapy-related AEs is essential. Our meta-analysis demonstrates the importance of center volume in improving outcomes and reducing the incidence of severe AEs.
