Preoperative albumin-bilirubin score predicts short-term outcomes and long-term prognosis in colorectal cancer patients undergoing radical surgery

Table 5 Previous studies reporting the albumin-bilirubin score of colorectal cancer patients

Ref.	Year	Country	Sample size	High ALBI, n (%)	Patients	Outcomes
Zhu et al[26]	2020	China	284	165 (58.1)	CRC	ALBI score was an independent indicator for postoperative complications and OS after radical surgery
Koh et al[27]	2022	South Korea	1015	173 (17.0)	CRC	ALBI score was an independent risk factor for OS in patients after radical CRC patients
Abdel-Rahman[28]	2019	Canada	1434	648 (45.2)	mCRC	ALBI score was an independent risk factor for OS and progression-free survival in CRC patients with liver metastasis after chemotherapy
Watanabe et al[29]	2021	Japan	60	28 (46.7)	CRC	High-ALBI group had shorter OS, and was correlated with shorter time to treatment failure and liver dysfunction in CRC patients treated with regorafenib

CRC: Colorectal cancer; mCRC: Metastatic colorectal cancer; ALBI: Albumin-bilirubin; OS: Overall survival.
