Association Between the Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) Score and All-cause Mortality Risk in Intensive Care Unit Patients with Heart Failure by Jiuyi Wang, Kai Wang, Guibo Feng, Xin Tian

“…The analysis encompassed a cohort of 4,239 patients, with Kaplan-Meier curves indicating that individuals with higher ALBI levels exhibited an elevated risk of all-cause mortality (log-rank p < 0.001). Multivariate adjusted Cox regression and subgroup analysis demonstrated that individuals in T2 (hazard ratio (HR) 1.09, 95% CI 0.99–1.21) and T3 (HR 1.17, 95% CI 1.02–1.34) had an increased risk of mortality compared to individuals in T1 (p for trend < 0.001), and each incremental tertile in ALBI was linked to a 10% rise in mortality risk, while each individual unit increase in ALBI was associated with a 36% increase in mortality risk. …”
