Association between advanced lung cancer inflammation index and all-cause and cause-specific mortality among asthma patients: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI), which reflects both inflammation and nutritional status, has an uncertain role in predicting outcomes for asthma patients. This study aimed to evaluate the association between ALI and mortality from all causes, as well as specific causes including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer-related mortality, among individuals with asthma.

Methods

We analyzed data from 4,829 asthma patients who participated in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the relationship between ALI and both all-cause and cause-specific mortality, adjusting for demographic and clinical variables. Additionally, restricted cubic spline models we
