Biomarker-based score to predict mortality in persons aged 50 years and older: a new approach in the Swedish AMORIS study

[摘要] BackgroundManagement of frailty is the cornerstone of geriatric medicine, but there remains a need to identify biomarkers that can predict early death, and thereby lead to effective clinical interventions. We aimed to study the combination of C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and HDL to predict mortality.
