Serum albumin levels were also shown to be associated with postoperative mechanical ventilation for more than 48 h, reintubation, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, lung infection, wound infection, septic shock, and deep-vein thrombosis in patients with CRC [28], as well as an increased risk of pulmonary embolism, return to the operating room, prolonged hospital stay, and increased 30-day mortality [29–31]. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is myocardial infarction.
