ALB and Neonatal sepsis: Subsequently, the aforementioned indicators (platelet, AST, LDH, ALB, A/G, creatinine, and LAR) were converted into binary variables and incorporated into the multivariate analysis (Enter and Forward: Likelihood Ratio (LR)), the results identified that only ALB (Hazard ratio [HR] = 9.066, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.433–33.775, p = 0.001) and LAR (HR = 11.236, 95% CI: 3.311–38.462, p < 0.001) as independent risk factors for mortality in neonatal sepsis (Table 2).
