In the univariate analysis, the following factors were associated with all-cause mortality: age ≥ 75 years, presence of cancer, heart rate > 100 beats/min, systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure < 60 mmHg, hemoglobin ≤ 10.0 mg/dL, hematocrit ≤ 30.0%, platelet ≤ 100,000/μL, BUN ≥ 30 mg/dL, creatinine lev > 1.5 mg/dL, albumin ≤ 3.0 g/dL, and INR > 1.50 (Table 5). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is cancer.
