Prognostic value of albumin-based indices for mortality after heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Albumin-based indices have been used to predict mortality after heart failure (HF). We hereby examined the utility of albumin-globin ratio, lactate-albumin ratio, blood urea nitrogen (BUN)-albumin ratio, fibrinogen-albumin ratio, and albumin-bilirubin score (ABS) in predicting mortality after HF.

Methods

We searched Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases up to 2nd October 2024 for studies examining association between albumin-based indices and mortality after HF. A random-effect meta-analysis was conducted using multivariate adjusted data to calculate pooled hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Subgroup analysis was conducted for short-term (< 90 days) and long-term mortality (≥ 1 year) where possible.
