Compared to normal albumin, hypoalbuminemia was independently associated with a significantly greater likelihood of experiencing any complication (odds ratio [OR] 3.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.04–5.19; P < .001), sepsis (OR 9.92, 95% CI 1.29–76.35; P = .028), blood transfusions (OR 2.89, 95% CI 1.20–6.93; P = .017), non-home discharge (OR 2.88, 95% CI 1.55–5.35; P < .001), readmission (OR 3.46, 95% CI 1.57–7.58; P = .002), and length of stay > 2 days (OR 3.00, 95% CI 1.85–4.86; P < .001). Here, ALB is linked to Hypoalbuminemia.
