ALB and congestive heart failure: Univariate logistic regression analysis yielded significant associations between mortality and age [Odds Ratio (OR) (95% Confidence Interval (CI)) = 1.047 (1.025–1.070), p < 0.001], hypertension [OR (95% CI) = 2.120 (1.019–4.413), p = 0.044], congestive heart failure [OR (95% CI) = 2.395 (1.269–4.522), p = 0.007], and albumin level [OR (95% CI) = 0.427 (0.259–0.704), p = 0.001] (Table 2).
