Univariate analysis revealed several short-term mortality-related predictors, including older age (OR 1.1, P=0.005), ischemic heart disease (OR 2, P=0.0197), higher creatinine level (OR 2.3, P=0.0043), and elevated CRP level and CRP-to-albumin ratio (OR 1.1, P < 0.0001; OR 1.0031, P < 0.0001, respectively). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is coronary artery disorder.
