The mGPS ranges from 0 to 2: patients with both CRP increase (> 10 mg/L) and hypoalbuminemia (< 35 g/L) is defined as a score of 2; patients with normal CRP level and albumin level is defined as a score of 0; patients with only increased CRP level is defined as a score of 1 [10]. Here, ALB is linked to Hypoalbuminemia.
