While both studies utilized a hypoalbuminemia cutoff of albumin 3.5 g/dL, one study found low albumin to be associated with increased 6-month risk of non-ambulation in multivariate analysis (Schoenfeld et al., 2019), while the other reported no association between albumin level and functional outcome (Liu et al., 2018). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is Hypoalbuminemia.
