Stable Stratified Correlation and Linear Negative Correlation Between Serum Albumin and Risk of All-Cause Death in Patients with Ischaemic Stroke by Gaihong Xu, Juan Zhang

“…Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of all-cause death in patients with albumin at T2 (40–43 g/L) and T3 (>43 g/L) was 33.6% and 74.4% lower than that in patients with T1 (<40 g/L), respectively, and the risk of all-cause death decreased by 13.2% for every unit increase in albumin (P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that the correlation between higher levels of albumin and lower risk of all-cause death was significant in all subgroups (P < 0.05). …”
