The relationship between hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet score and mortality in non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a high mortality rate, emphasizing the need for reliable preoperative prognostic tools. Recent studies have focused on markers that reflect both inflammatory and nutritional status. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score in predicting postoperative outcomes in NSCLC patients. This retrospective observational study included patients diagnosed with NSCLC who underwent curative surgery between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2024. Preoperative HALP scores were calculated from routine blood tests to assess their potential as independent predictors of survival and long-term outcomes. The study cohort comprised 238 patients, divided into 2 groups: survivors (n = 153, 64.3%) and dec
