CRP and cancer: The multivariate survival analysis showed that high CRP (model 2: P < 0.001, HR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.44–1.92), low GNRI (model 2: P < 0.001, HR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.44–1.94), low ALI (model 2: P < 0.001, HR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.35–1.82), and low LCR (model 2: P < 0.001, HR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.46–1.96) were significantly associated with shorter OS in elderly patients with cancer (Table 2).
