Univariate predictors of inferior overall survival in patients of any stage were age at diagnosis, serous histology, high grade tumor, advanced stage, suboptimal debulking, presence of ascites, higher ASA score, higher ECOG PS, post-menopausal status, increasing number of pregnancies, lower pre-operative albumin, higher pre-operative CA-125, higher pre-operative platelets, and lower pre-operative hemoglobin (all p<0.05, Table 2). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is neoplasm.
