A recent scoring system, the hemoglobin albumin lymphocyte and platelet (HALP) score, combining multi-dimensional metrics, has been used in the prognoses of many diseases except coronary heart disease (CHD). Herein, this study aims to explore the association between HALP score and all-cause mortality in patients with CHD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Demographic and clinical data of adult patients with CHD were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) database from 2003 to 2018 in this retrospective cohort study. Weighted univariate and multivariate COX proportional hazard models were used for covariates screening and exploration of the association between HALP score and all-cause mortality. The evaluation indexes were hazard ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve and the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve were used to assess the predictive performance of HALP on CHD prognosis. In addition, subgroup analyses of age and congestive heart failure (CHF) were also performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among the eligible patients, 657 died of all-cause mortality. After adjusting for the covariates including age, education level, PIR, marital status, smoking, physical activity, total energy intake, CHF, stroke, hypertension, DM, CKD, cancer or malignancy, monocyte, drug for CVD, treatment for anemia, anticoagulants drug, and adrenal cortical steroids, we found that HALP score was negatively associated with the risk of all-cause mortality [HR\u2009=\u20090.83, 95% CI: (0.74\u20130.93)]. Compared with patients with high HALP scores, those who had lower HALP scores seemed to have a higher risk of all-cause mortality (all <jats:italic>P\u2009<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt;\u20090.05). HALP score has a potential predictive value on CHD prognosis with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.61. Furthermore, in patients aged &amp;lt;65 years, with or without CHF, a lower HALP score was also associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality (all
