Role of the platelet-lymphocyte ratio as a prognostic indicator in patients with intracranial hemorrhage: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prognostic value of platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in ischemic stroke had been investigated in previous studies. However, the results of studies on PLR in patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) are inconsistent. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to determine the prognostic value of PLR in predicting functional outcome and mortality in patients with ICH.

Methods

We searched the databases of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and CNKI for relevant studies up to 10th June 2024. The Newcastle Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) was applied to evaluate the quality of the included studies. We calculated the pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) between PLR and both functional outcome (as measured by the modified Rankin Scale, mRS) a
