Hemoglobin-to-albumin ratio predicts complications after gastrectomy

Higher hemoglobin-to-albumin ratios are linked to fewer complications post-radical gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients.

• A 1-unit increase in the hemoglobin-to-albumin ratio reduces the risk of moderate to severe complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥II) by 62%.
• This study analyzed data from 352 patients, establishing a clear correlation between nutritional status and surgical outcomes.

Monitor hemoglobin-to-albumin ratios to optimize patient selection and enhance recovery in gastric surgery.
