BackgroundGastrointestinal (GI) immune-related adverse events (irAEs) commonly limit immune checkpoint inhibitors' (ICIs) treatment, which is very effective for metastatic melanoma. The independent impact of GI-irAEs on patients' survival is not well studied. We aimed to assess the impact of GI-irAEs on survival rates of patients with metastatic melanoma using multivariate model.MethodsThis is a retrospective study of patients with metastatic melanoma who developed GI-irAEs from 1/2010 through 4/2018. A number of randomized patients who did not have GI-irAEs were included as controls. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test were used to estimate unadjusted survival durations. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate survival predictors; irAEs were included as time-dependent variables.ResultsA total of 346 patients were included, 173 patients had GI-irAEs; 124 (72%) received immunosuppression. In multivariate Cox regression, ECOG 2-3 (HR 2.57, 95%CI 1.44-4.57; P
