However, nutritional status assessed by serum albumin level could not predict discharge to nursing home or long-term care hospitals with ORs of 1.751 (95% CI: 0.771–0.377, P = 0.181) for risk of malnutrition and 2.164 (95% CI: 0.993–4.715, P = 0.052) for malnutrition compared to normal nutritional status (Table 3). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is malnutrition.
