Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio for predicting postoperative mortality after hip fracture surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The current study aimed to systematically and quantitatively evaluate the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting mortality among surgical patients with hip fractures through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

Four databases-The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science-were comprehensively retrieved to identify studies published from database inception to May 2025 that investigated NLR as a predictor of postoperative survival in hip fracture individuals. Two independent researchers performed study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment, with consistency verified via cross-checking. Statistical analyses were performed using Stata 15.0 for meta-re
