ALB and peptic ulcer disease: Adjusted HRs were then converted into scores where cardiac, hepatic dysfunction, infection, peptic ulcer, heart valve disease, albumin value less than 3.5 g/dL, platelet count less than 20 × 103 cells/μL, and LDH values greater than 200 to 1000 U/L were each assigned a score of 1.0 (HR, 1.3-1.9), while an LDH value greater than 1000 U/L was assigned a score of 2.0 (HR, 2.0–2.9).
