Laboratory and Clinical Values of the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Women With Hyperemesis Gravidarum: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), which is characterized by severe nausea and vomiting, can lead to maternal complications and adverse fetal outcomes. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a potentially simple and cost-effective marker for detecting this condition. The aim of this study was to consolidate the current evidence regarding the utility of NLR in diagnosing and assessing the severity of HG.

Methods

A systematic search of Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar was conducted before March 2024. The selected articles were reviewed. Analytical cross-sectional studies reporting NLR values in patients with HG were included. Two independent authors reviewed the articles and assessed them for bias. A meta-analysis with random effects was c
