Overview

Linked-mortality cohort analysis assesses HALP score's impact on mortality outcomes in hypertensive adults, suggesting clinical importance.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the HALP score's effectiveness in predicting mortality outcomes among hypertensive adults.
  • Linked-mortality cohort analysis of 20,256 hypertensive adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2018.
  • HALP score calculated using hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet levels.
  • Cox regression analyses estimated hazard ratios for all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.
  • Participants in the highest quartile of HALP score had a 30% reduced risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.64–0.77, P trend < .001).
  • CVD mortality risk was 39% lower in the highest quartile (HR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.49–0.76, P trend < .001).
  • Cancer mortality risk was 22% lower in the highest quartile (HR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.63–0.96, P trend = .086).
