“…More than half of the studies were reported from Far East (n = 15) [32, 39-52], followed by Europe (n = 12) [25,31,37,38,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]]. The 3.5 gr/dL was the most frequently used albumin cut-off in the included studies (n = 20) [25, 31-33, 37, 38, 40-43, 45-52, 54, 56-64], while eight studies evaluated the effect of albumin levels on survival by using albumin as a continuous measure [34,39,44,53,55,[65][66][67]. All but two studies reported HR for OS [25,36,49], while data for PFS was available in the 15 studies [25, 32, 33, 36, 40-42, 48-50, 52, 53, 57, 60, 63, 66].…”
