Association between serum albumin levels and cancer mortality.

Groups	Cancer mortality (Per 1g/dL albumin decrease)
	Crude HR (95% CI)	P for trend	Adjusted HR (95% CI)	P for trend
All cancers	2.38 (2.06, 2.74)	< 0.001	2.03 (1.73, 2.37)	< 0.001
Well survived cancers	2.41 (1.89, 3.05)	< 0.001	1.78 (1.38, 2.32)	< 0.001
Poorly survived cancers	2.38 (1.99, 2.84)	< 0.001	1.99 (1.64, 2.42)	< 0.001

Crude model: adjusted for none. Adjusted model: adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, BMI, smoking, drinking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, anemia, CVD. HR, Hazard ratio and CI, confidence interval.
