ALB and small cell lung carcinoma: Subsequently, based on the complete data (N=168, event=128), low blood albumin levels (p=0.003, HR 1.72, 95% CI: 1.21–2.45) and high dNLR (p=0.003, HR 1.71, 95% CI: 1.20–2.44) were identified as the independent risk factors predicting worse OS for SCLC in multivariate analysis.
