Table 2_HALP: HALP Index and Mortality Risk Across Metabolic Syndrome Spectrum

Keting Deng published a dataset on 2026-05-20 analyzing the prognostic value of the Hemoglobin-Albumin-Lymphocyte-Platelet (HALP) index for mortality risk. It contains results from a study of 10,770 adults from the NHANES 1999–2010 survey, followed through 2019, with supportive external cohort evidence. The data includes hazard ratios, mortality risk percentages, and model performance metrics like Harrell's C statistic.

Use Cases

• Assessing the association between the HALP index and all-cause mortality based on hazard ratios and tertile analysis.
• Evaluating joint risk classification for mortality based on combined HALP and continuous metabolic syndrome score (cMetS) categories.
• Validating prognostic model improvements by analyzing the change in Harrell's C statistic after adding HALP to a baseline model.
• Investigating nonlinear, L-shaped relationships between a nutrition-inflammation index and health outcomes using restricted cubic splines.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a large, nationally representative sample of 10,770 participants from NHANES.
• Analysis includes long-term follow-up through 31 December 2019, covering up to 20 years of mortality data.
• Study employs multiple analytical methods, including competing-risk models and decision curve analysis, as noted in the description.
• Results are supported by an external cohort analysis, providing additional validation context.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the specific results table is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 16.0 KB, indicating it likely contains summary results rather than raw individual-level data.
