ALB and neutropenia: The multivariate logistic regression revealed that the ECOG score (P = 0.008) was a factor associated with the risk for grade 3-4 neutropenia, and baseline BMI classification (P = 0.035), baseline WBC count (P = 0.007), and baseline ALB stratification (P = 0.031) were factors associated with protection against grade 3-4 neutropenia (Table 8).
