Preoperative Albumin to Alkaline Phosphatase Ratio Correlates to Postoperative Complications After Radical Gastrectomy in Elderly Gastric Cancer Patients
Abstract
Background The role of albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) in predicting complications in elderly gastric cancer (GC) patients is unclear.Methods This retrospective study included 358 elderly GC patients (≥60 years of age) who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy between 2020 and 2023. Based on AAPR values, patients were categorized into high (≥0.545) and low (
