Prognostic Role of the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) plays an important role in the progression of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). An increasing number of studies have reported that a high NLR is correlated with poor clinical outcomes among patients with ICH. Here, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic value of NLR in the setting of ICH. We performed a comprehensive search of electronic literature databases to identify all relevant studies evaluating the prognostic role of NLR in patients with ICH. Two researchers independently screened the studies and extracted relevant data. We extracted, pooled, and weighted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) values using a generic inverse-variance method, and then evaluated the heterogeneity among studies using
