Systematic review and meta-analysis of the association of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio with periodontitis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Recent evidence suggests the relationship between periodontitis and systemic inflammation, which complete blood count can assess (CBC)-derived biomarkers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). We conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the levels of NLR and PLR of patients with periodontitis compared to those of healthy controls.  METHODS: Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, and Open Grey were searched for studies published before October 20, 2024, without any limitation on date and language; then, using the random-effects model, we reported a standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). In order to assess the quality of publications, we used the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). Our study was
