Association between platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and prognosis in patients receiving coronary artery bypass grafting: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging evidence indicates a possible relation of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) to clinical outcomes in the coronary artery disease (CAD) population receiving coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, current findings remain inconclusive and inconsistent. Our study examines the prognostic value of PLR in CAD patients undergoing CABG.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, as well as Cochrane Library, were thoroughly retrieved until April 15, 2025. Data for categorical and continuous variables were merged separately using odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI), and standardized mean difference (SMD). In addition, the result stability was rated, and possible sources of heterogeneity were identified via sensitivity and subgroup analyses.
