In the subgroup analysis (Figure 1), treatment was significantly associated with lower in-hospital mortality rates among those with hypoalbuminemia (albumin < 3.0 mg/dL; adjusted OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.30–0.93; p = 0.02) and higher SOFA scores (>10 points; adjusted OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.29–0.97; p = 0.03). Here, ALB is linked to Hypoalbuminemia.
