ABSTRACT
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has long been established as a useful diagnostic and prognostic tool in a variety of clinical settings, ranging from infectious to cardiovascular and neoplastic diseases. However, non-neoplastic diseases can act as confounders impacting on the amount of cfDNA shed in bloodstream and on technical feasibility of tumour derived free circulating nucleic acids selecting patients with cancer. Here, we investigated the potential impact of other pathological processes in the clinical stratification of 637 FIT+ patients. A single and multiple logistic regression yielded similar results. Crude sensitivity was 75.9% versus adjusted sensitivity of 74.1%, relative risk 0.9761 (0.8516 to 1.1188), risk difference 0.0181 (-0.0835 to 0.1199) and OR 0.9079 (0.5264 to 1.5658). Potential confounding effect from other source of cfDNA plays a pivotal role in the clinical stratification of FIT+ patients.
