Background: Several studies were conducted to explore the prognostic value of modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) in pancreatic cancer, which reported contradictory results. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to summarize the prognostic value of mGPS in pancreatic cancer by investigating the correlation between mGPS and overall survival (OS). Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, Cochrane library databases and OVID to identify eligible studies published from Jan 1, 2011 to June 20, 2020. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to detect the prognostic significance of mGPS in patients with pancreatic cancer. Results: A total of 222 non-repetitive studies were identified, and 20 enrolled studies described the association between survival outcomes and mGPS in pancreatic cancer patients. The results showed a significant correlation between high mGPS and poor OS (HR=1.50, 95% CI=1.20–1.89, P<0.0001). Similar results were observed in the subgroup analyses of OS, which were based on the treatment regimen and research region. Conclusions: Our study suggested the close association between the poor prognosis and high level of mGPS, which will be helpful for future clinical applications in pancreatic cancer patients.
