Background: We aimed to investigate the effect of the haemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelet (HALP) score on pathologic results and bladder cancer recurrence (BCR) in patients operated for upper urinary tract tumours (UTUCs).
Material And Methods: HALP scores of all patients were calculated. Demographic data, preoperative blood parameters, pathologic data and the BCR development status of patients with low and high HALP scores were compared.
Results: Haemoglobin (11.2±2.3 g/dL vs. 12.9±2.4 g/dL), albumin (4.0±0.8 g/dL vs. 4.4±0.9 g/dL) and HALP score (38.2±2.9 vs. 43.4±3.1) were statistically lower in the BCR (+) group compared with the BCR (-) group (p<0.001). The ROC curve showed that the optimal cut-off point for the HALP score was 40.8. Multivariate analyses showed that the HALP score was effective on Tumour Grade, Tumour Stage, BCR.
Conclusion: We have shown that patients with lower HALP scores have a more advanced stage and higher-grade pathologic outcomes and have a higher risk of developing BCR.

: The aim of the present study was to calculate HALP and modified HALP scores for patients diagnosed with acute cholecystitis (AC) and to determine the predictive utility of these scores for surgical timing and morbidity in patients who underwent surgery for AC. : This study included data from 641 patients who underwent surgery for AC between January 2010 and May 2023. The HALP score was calculated using the formula hemoglobin (g/L) × albumin (g/L) × lymphocyte (10/L)/platelets (10/L).

Background: The combined index (HALP) of hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocytes, and platelets is considered a novel scoring system that reflects systemic inflammation and nutritional status. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between HALP scores and poor outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
Methods: Patients with AIS and type 2 DM were screened from the Third China National Stroke Registry (CNSR-III) and divided into quartiles based on their HALP scores at admission.

Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Ataturk University, Erzurum, Turkey.
Aim: The Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte and Platelet (HALP) score, calculated as hemoglobin × albumin × lymphocytes / platelets, serves as a novel biomarker that can provide insights into a patient's nutritional status, anemia status and inflammatory processes. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the HALP score for mortality among geriatric patients presenting to the emergency department.
Methods: This retrospective study was carried out at the emergency department of a tertiary hospital.

This study aimed to evaluate the ability of the preoperative Hemoglobin, Albumin, Lymphocyte count, and Platelet (HALP) score to predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with rectal cancer (RC) and improve prediction accuracy by incorporating clinical parameters. Data from 263 patients with RC were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the optimal cutoff value (OCV) for the HALP score in predicting LNM.

Purpose: Inflammatory, nutritional, and immune biomarkers are associated with the prognosis of patients with various tumors. Recently, a comprehensive predictive biomarker, the hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score, was introduced to predict clinical outcomes. We investigated the prognostic impact of preoperative HALP scores in patients who underwent hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).
