High albumin-bilirubin grade predicts worse short-term complications in gastric cancer patients with metabolic syndrome: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade has been proposed and applied in recent years to evaluate the prognosis of liver cancer, but its role in gastric cancer (GC) is still unclear. This research aimed to examine the prognostic value of ALBI grade after gastrectomy among patients with GC complicated with metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Methods

There were 628 patients who received radical resection for GC. Laboratory data and short-term results were collected prospectively, and preoperative ALBI grades were calculated from the albumin and bilirubin levels. The appropriate ALBI cutoff value was calculated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, which we used to put patients into high (>-2.54) and low (≤-2.54) ALBI grade groups. The differences bet
