Table 3. Hospital stay and mortality rates according to serum albumin groups.
| Variable | Low albumin (n=51) | Normal albumin (n=406) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hospital stay (days) | 12 (9; 16) | 9 (8; 12) | <0.001 |
| Intensive care unit stay (days) | 4 (2; 5) | 3 (1; 4) | 0.001 |
| Immediate procedural mortality | 0 [0] | 5 [1.2] | 1* |
| In-hospital mortality | 4 [8] | 12 [3] | 0.093* |
| 30-day mortality | 5 [10] | 14 [3] | 0.045* |
Data presented as number [percentage] for categorical variables, mean standard deviation for normally distributed or median and (25th and 75th percentile) for not normally distributed continuous variables. Accordingly, Chi-square, exact Fisher*, Student’s t-test or Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare.
