Preoperative hypoalbuminemia was strongly associated with postoperative mortality. Hypoalbuminemic patients did not have demonstrably worse outcomes in their functional disability beyond 6 months. Within the first 6 months following surgery, the hypoalbuminemic group improved at a similar rate to the normoalbuminemic group despite having greater preoperative disability. However, causal inference is limited in this retrospective study.
