Description
Yajun Zou and co-authors test a simple blood score as a warning sign for brain-injured patients in intensive care, in this 2025 study. The score, called HALP, joins four routine measures: hemoglobin, albumin, a white cell type, and platelets. The team pulled records for more than eight hundred neurocritical patients from a large hospital database.
About one in five patients died within twenty-eight days. Sorted into bands, higher scores tracked with clearly lower death rates, though the raw score alone did not predict death after full adjustment. The link bent rather than ran straight, and the score added value on top of standard severity scales.
