ALB and encephalitis: Univariate analysis indicated that tumour presence (p<0.001), anti-GABABR encephalitis (p<0.001), disturbance of consciousness (p=0.045), pulmonary infection complications (p=0.039), mechanical ventilation (p=0.030), elevated NLR (p<0.001), and low albumin levels (p=0.003) were statistically significant.
