Key result
Adult age was associated with significantly decreased overall survival among patients with Ewing sarcoma (HR 1.71; 95% CI 1.35-2.17).

What are the prognostic factors for overall survival in children and adult patients with Ewing sarcoma?
Hazard Ratio: 1.71 (95% CI 1.35–2.17)
Adult age, Hispanic race, metastatic disease, large tumor size, and low socioeconomic status are poor prognostic factors for overall survival in patients with Ewing sarcoma.
Lee et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Ewing sarcoma (n=725). Adult age vs. Children was evaluated on overall survival (HR 1.71, 95% CI 1.35-2.17). Adult age was associated with significantly decreased overall survival among patients with Ewing sarcoma (HR 1.71; 95% CI 1.35-2.17).
