A Potential Relationship Between HALP Score and In-Hospital Mortality in Acute Heart Failure.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAcute heart failure (AHF) is associated with a dismal prognosis that is even poorer than the majority of cancer types. Therefore, clinical indicators that can aid in determining the prognosis of heart failure are of interest. Multiple risk prediction tools with varying sensitivity and specificities have been introduced before. In the current study, we aimed to evaluate whether the HALP score could accurately predict in-hospital mortality in patients with AHF.
methodsWe evaluated the medical records of a total of 153 patients admitted to our institution between August 2016-May 2018 for acute heart failure. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (patients who died during hospital admission) and Group 2 (patients who were discharged from the hospital). The HALP score was calculated as: hemoglobin (g/L) x albumin (g/L) x lymphocytes (/L)/platelets (/L) for each patient. The two groups were compared in terms of HALP scores. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized to assess the predictive performance of HALP on in-hospital mortality in AHF.
resultsPatients who died during admission had lower HALP scores compared with the patients who were discharged uneventfully. A ROC curve analysis was performed to predict the optimal cut-off value of the HALP score. The area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and the cut-off value were 0.650, 43%, 57%, 21,5 respectively (p = 0.014).
conclusionDespite all evolving treatment modalities, heart failure-related mortality rates remain high. Prompt recognition of patients with an unfavorable prognosis is vital for the timely implementation of disease-modifying therapeutic interventions. The HALP score, being a readily calculable tool, serves as an effective means to pinpoint individuals at a heightened risk of in-hospital mortality. We believe that the HALP score holds promise as a practical tool for predicting in-mortality among patients admitted for AHF.
