Prognostic value of albumin-based indices for mortality after heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Albumin-based indices have been used to predict mortality after heart failure (HF). We hereby examined the utility of albumin-globin ratio, lactate-albumin ratio, blood urea nitrogen (BUN)-albumin ratio, fibrinogen-albumin ratio, and albumin-bilirubin score (ABS) in predicting mortality after HF.
