Relationship between advanced lung cancer inflammation index and all-cause and cause-specific mortality among chronic inflammatory airway diseases patients: a population-based study

This study revealed a novel association between elevated ALI level and reduced all-cause and cause-specific mortality risk in patients with CIAD. Furthermore, the relationship between ALI and mortality rates from all cause, as well as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, exhibited an non-linear, J-shaped curve. These findings underscore the importance of maintaining optimal ALI levels within a specific range to promote long-term survival in CIAD patients. The dynamic variation in ALI over time also can help clinicians establish personalized ALI standards to maximize the long-term outcomes for CIAD patients.
