Serum albumin level for prediction of all-cause mortality in acute coronary syndrome patients: a meta-analysis

“…During full-text assessment, 14 articles were further removed for various reasons. Finally, eight studies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] were included in the meta-analysis ( Figure 1). Table 1 summarizes the main characteristics of eligible studies.…”

“…Table 1 summarizes the main characteristics of eligible studies. These studies were published from 2006 to 2018 and conducted in China [6,12,13], Turkey [7,9], Israel [10], Japan [8], and Mexico [11]. The sample size of each study ranged from 62 to 8750, with a total of 21667 ACS patients.…”

“…Low serum albumin level has been identified as a risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease [5]. Several epidemiological studies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] have examined the association between serum albumin and adverse outcomes in ACS patients. However, these available studies differed from study design, population studied, sample size, cut-off level of low serum albumin, and adjustment for covariates.…”

Independent and Combined Effects of Serum Albumin and C-Reactive Protein on Long-Term Outcomes of Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

“…19- 22 Plakht et al demonstrated that the serum albumin level on admission of patients with acute MI is an independent prognostic marker for long-term death. 23 Recently, the relationship between CRP and serum albumin (the ratio of CRP to albumin) has been reported as a prognostic marker in patients with various diseases such as severe sepsis, CKD, or cancer. 24-27 Furthermore, Ishii et al showed that the combination of lower serum albumin and elevated hs-CRP levels could strongly predict increased risk of amputation and death after endovascular therapy in hemodialysis patients with peripheral artery disease.…”

Serum albumin concentration as an independent prognostic indicator in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension

“…Studies have identified age, blood pressure, renal function, and biomarker abnormalities as predictors of adverse prognosis, and these clinical variables can be helpful in discussing prognosis with patients and guiding therapy . Although serum albumin concentration has been found to be an important prognostic indicator in numerous other disease processes, limited data are available in the PAH population . In patients with chronic heart failure, lower serum albumin levels have been associated with poor prognosis .…”
