Prognostic significance of hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelet score in solid tumors: a pooled study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The high hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score has been reported to be a good prognostic indicator for several malignancies. However, more evidence is needed before it can be introduced into clinical practice. Here, we systematically evaluated the predictive value of HALP for survival outcomes in patients with solid tumors.

Methods

This study was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) Guidelines. In March 2024, an electronic literature search was performed for articles regarding the prognostic role of HALP in solid tumors. Data from studies with reported risk ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were poo
