ALB and glioma: Our previous study confirmed the prognostic value of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) in glioma (12); other factors, such as D-dimer (DD), hemoglobin (HBG), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW), have also been shown to be correlated with clinical outcomes in patients with glioma (13).
