The patients were classified based on hypoalbuminemia (defined as a serum albumin level\u2009&amp;lt;\u200935\u2009g\/L) and clinical threshold. Multivariable logistic regression and propensity score matching analysis (PSM) were employed to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for POD to eliminate potential confounding factors.

In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, patients with hypoalbuminemia had an adjusted OR of 2.99 (95%CI: 2.14\u20134.18) compared to those with normal albumin levels (\u2265 35\u2009g\/L). Furthermore, a significant trend was observed across different severity categories, including mild hypoalbuminemia (34.9\u201330.0\u2009g\/L; adjusted OR\u2009=\u20092.71, 95%CI: 1.84\u20133.99), moderate hypoalbuminemia (29.9\u201325.0\u2009g\/L, adjusted OR\u2009=\u20093.44, 95%CI: 1.88\u20136.28), and severe hypoalbuminemia (&amp;lt;25.0\u2009g\/L; adjusted OR\u2009=\u20093.97, 95%CI: 1.78\u20138.86), with a trend value of\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt;0.001. Similar results were observed in the PSM analysis. Additionally, treating preoperative serum albumin level as a continuous variable, the risk of POD increased by 11% (95% CI, 1.08\u20131.15) with each 1\u2009g\/L decrease in preoperative serum albumin
