Although the hemoglobin-albumin-lymphocyte-platelet (HALP) index, a composite marker reflecting inflammatory and nutritional status, exhibits prognostic value in various immune-related diseases, its potential in pemphigus remains elusive. In this study, we investigated prognostic significance of the HALP index in 69 patients with pemphigus diagnosed between 2001 and 2024. Methods: We calculated the HALP index at diagnosis and stratified using maximally selected rank statistics, identifying a cutoff value of 45.9. Using Cox proportional hazards models, patients with low HALP index (\u226445.9) had significantly poorer overall survival (OS) and lower remission rates than those with higher HALP. Results: Our multivariate analysis independently associated immunosuppressant use with improved OS (HR = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.13\u20130.79; p = 0.013), while a low HALP index was an independent predictor of mortality (HR = 2.84; 95% CI: 1.06\u20137.60; p = 0.038). Additionally, low HALP index was also independently associated with a longer time to remission (HR = 0.55; 95% CI: 0.31\u20130.97; p = 0.039). Conclusion: The HALP index represents a simple and readily available biomarker that independently predicts survival and remission outcomes in patients with pemphigus, potentially helping risk stratification and personalized management in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000550453","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,13]],"date-time":"2026-01-13T17:00:50Z","timestamp":1768323650000},"page":"152-159","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Prognostic Implications of the Hemoglobin-Albumin-Lymphocyte-Platelet Index in Patients with Pemphigus"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"242","author":[{"given":"Kittinun","family":"Leetanaporn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Siripan","family":"Sangmala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nuntouchaporn","family":"Amonchaisakda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2023.1159351"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2340\/00015555-2611"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2025.1481093"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.16752"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archdermatol.2009.9"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2017.07.012"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5021\/ad.2017.29.4.438"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ced.12187"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18632\/oncotarget.28367"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fnut.2023.1206958"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/CMAR.S365612"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000512916"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41577-023-00834-4"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pbj.2017.05.005"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ddg.14097"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2008.01.012"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/ijpm.ijpm_410_21"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00403-023-02639-w"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/ijd.ijd_935_21"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina57101080"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jop.13167"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5045\/br.2013.48.1.10"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000022850"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.1994.tb01412.x"},{"key":"ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000246354"},{"key":"ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2025.1546465"},{"key":"ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2022.892534"},{"key":"ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jid.1950.27"},{"key":"ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1684\/ejd.2018.3252"},{"key":"ref30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/138161211795049804"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article-pdf\/doi\/10.1159\/000550453","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,2]],"date-time":"2026-04-02T16:02:36Z","timestamp":1775145756000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000550453"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,13]]},"references-count":30,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,2]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000550453","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.31054915","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,13]]}}}
