Conditional logistic regression analysis showed that albumin (HR, 0.883; CI, 0.829–0.940; p < 0.001), MPV (HR, 2.125; CI, 1.677–2.694; p < 0.001), and PDW (HR, 0.756; CI, 0.645–0.886; p < 0.001) were independently associated with postoperative sepsis in CRC patients, as shown in Table 2. Here, ALB is linked to colorectal carcinoma.
