Key Words	YKL-40; Colorectal carcinoma; Prognosis; Meta-analysis
Core Tip	Our study demonstrated that YKL-40 was significantly associated with poor OS (P < 0.001) and PFS (P = 0.001). Subgroup analysis stratified by the treatment, tumor type and source of YKL-40 showed similar results. Elevated serum/plasma concentration of YKL-40 or positive expression in tumor cells was related with worse prognosis of colorectal carcinoma patients. YKL-40 might serve as a novel and reliable indicator for the evaluation of prognosis in colorectal cancer.
