Association between C-reactive protein-albumin ratio and overall survival in Parkinson's disease using publicly available data: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

At present, many studies have confirmed that inflammation plays a central role in Parkinson's disease (PD). The inflammatory index is related to the prognosis of the disease, but a single inflammatory index has some limitations. The C-reactive protein-albumin ratio (CAR) is a better marker of inflammation or nutritional status than C-reactive protein (CRP) or albumin (Alb), but there is limited study on the association between CAR and the overall survival (OS) of PD.

Object

To study the association between CAR and OS in PD patients.

Methods

All of these data were obtained from the Dryad Digital Repository, based on which we conducted a secondary analysis. The study was conducted by the Department of Neurology, the National Regional Center for Neurological D
