CRP and anemia: Interestingly, the laboratory parameters for anemia (hemoglobin ≤ 12 g/dL: HR = 2.153, 95% CI 1.220–3.797, p < 0.01), systemic inflammation (CRP > 5 mg/L: HR = 2.317, 95% CI 1.255–4.280, p < 0.01) and impaired nutrition status (albumin ≤ 4.2 g/dL: HR = 3.224, 95% CI 1.227–8.477, p < 0.05) were found to correspond to reduced OS rates in this subgroup.
