Patients age ≥ 60 (HR 1.70, CI 1.16–2.51, p = 0.007), male (HR 1.66, CI 1.23–2.25, p = 0.001), ECOG ≥2 (HR 1.99, CI 1.48–2.68, p < 0.001), HIV infection (HR 18.47, CI 2.38–143.47, p = 0.005), platelet <100,000/μl (HR 1.65, CI 1.15–2.36, p = 0.007), serum albumin <3.5 g/dl (HR 1.67, CI 1.22–2.28, p = 0.001), LDH ≥250 U/L (HR 1.50, CI 1.09–2.07, p = 0.013), and patients who received allogeneic stem cell transplantations (HR 13.81, CI 7.07–26.98, p < 0.001) had a higher mortality rate in the multivariate analysis. Here, ALB is linked to HIV infectious disease.
