Association between C-reactive protein to albumin ratio and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a widespread condition that significantly endangers human health. The C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) has been utilized as an important marker for the occurrence and development of various diseases. Nevertheless, the association between CAR and COPD remains inadequately explored. This research aimed to examine the link between the CAR and COPD.

Methods

This cross-sectional study examined data from adult participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1999 and 2010. The identification of COPD relied on data obtained directly from self-reported information. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association be
