High level of pre-treatment C-reactive protein to albumin ratio predicts inferior prognosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Abstract The C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) has not been assessed in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL, the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma). This retrospective study evaluated the prognostic value of CAR in 186 DLBCL patients. A CAR value of 0.158 was selected as the most discriminat...

In an independent validation cohort (n = 50), patients with CAR > 0.158 also showed worse 3-year OS (47.9% vs. 87.2%, p = 0.0035) and 3-year PFS (36.1% vs. 82.1%, p = 0.0011).
