Popis: BackgroundThe HALP score, comprising hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet levels, serves as an indicator of both nutritional and inflammatory status. However, its correlation with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among cancer survivors remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between HALP scores and mortality outcomes in this population.MethodWe extracted cohort data spanning ten cycles (1999-2018) from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Mortality rates, determined using the National Death Index (NDI) as of December 31, 2019, were assessed. Weighted multivariate logistic regression analyzed the association between HALP scores and cancer prevalence. Kaplan-Meier analyses and weighted multivariate-adjusted Cox analyses investigated the link between HALP scores and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in cancer survivors. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was employed to assess nonlinear relationships. Furthermore, multi-parametric subgroup analyses were conducted to ensure the robustness of the results.ResultsOur study included 41,231 participants, of whom 3,786 were cancer survivors (prevalence: 9.5%). Over a median follow-up of 91 months (range: 51-136), we observed 1,339 deaths, including 397 from cancer, 368 from cardio-cerebrovascular disease, and 105 from respiratory disease. Elevated HALP scores showed a consistent association with reduced cancer incidence (P for trend
