Higher number of monocytes and neutrophils may correlate with active tuberculosis (TB) in children. However, the few paediatric studies available are limited by the small numbers of children with TB d...
We calculated the monocyte-to-lymphocyte-ratio (MLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte-ratio (NLR) and neutrophil-to-monocyte-plus-lymphocyte-ratio (NMLR) in children with active TB, latent TB infection (LTBI...
Overall, 649 children were included (41.8% females, mean age of 5.74 years). MLR, NLR and NMLR values were always significantly higher in patients with TB compared with the other groups (p < 0.001). C...
Our study provides further evidence that MLR, NLR and NMLR can serve as first level diagnostics to support the clinical suspicion of TB in children....
The prognostic value of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio in patients with melanoma has yielded controversial results in the literature. A retros...
Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII index) are increasingly used as indicators of inflammati...
To date, no study has investigated whether the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) have a clinical value in Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC)-pulmonary disease (PD)....
We aimed to assess whether the baseline NLR and MLR were different according to the severity of MAC-PD based on the radiologic classification by retrospectively analyzing 549 patients treated in a ter...
Both NLR and MLR were significantly higher as 3.33 and 0.43 respectively in the fibrocavitary type, followed by 2.34 and 0.27 in the cavitary nodular bronchiectatic type and significantly lower as 1.8...
The baseline NLR and MLR showed a distinct difference in accordance with the radiologic severity of MAC-PD....
Many thoracic surgery procedures are now performed with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Postoperative pain is a common condition in patients undergoing VATS. In this study, we aimed to in...
The association of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) with depression has been investigated extensively while the results ...
This cross-sectional study was conducted based on representative samples of US adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-06 to 2017-18. Major depression was defined as a 9-...
A total of 34,324 participants were included in the study and 3009 of them were diagnosed with major depression. Only PLR was significantly associated with depression after adjustment of all covariate...
The cross-sectional design did not imply any causal inferences....
NLR and PLR were associated with depression after adjustment of potential confounders in a non-linear manner. Prospective studies might be needed to further reveal the non-linear relationships....
Predicting stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is crucial for intensifying preventive measures and decreasing morbidity and mortality. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the association between baselin...
The Web of Science, SCOPUS, and PUBMED databases were searched to find eligible studies. The standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to evaluate the differences i...
Twelve studies comprising 6302 stroke patients were included. The pooled analyses revealed that patients with SAP had significantly higher levels of NLR, MLR, and PLR than the non-SAP group. The SMD, ...
This systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that an elevated NLR, MLR, and PLR were associated with SAP, indicating that they could be promising blood-based biomarkers for predicting SAP. Large-s...
Hemodialysis (HD) is the most important renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Systemic inflammation is a risk factor of mortality in HD patients. Neutrophil-to-l...
In this single center retrospective cohort study, 213 incident HD patients from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020 were included. Baseline demographic and clinical data and laboratory measurements w...
Of 213 patients, the mean (± SD) age was 56.8 ± 14.4 years, 66.2% were men, and 32.9% with diabetes. The primary cause of ESKD was mainly chronic glomerulonephritis (46.5%) and diabetic nephropathy (2...
In conclusion, an inflammation scoring system was established by including NLR, MLR and PLR, and the higher inflammation score was independently associated with all-cause mortality in HD patients....
This study explored the contribution of peripheral blood markers in diagnosis and prognosis estimation of different stages of laryngeal dysplasia and early glottic cancer....
Retrospective analysis of clinical, histopathological and laboratory data of 220 patients including hemoglobin, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte and platelet counts, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NL...
The mean hemoglobin level and platelets count showed differences between histopathological stages of lesions (...
The levels of blood cells and their ratios seem to be effective in predicting the recurrence of lesion and even more their potential role in indicating malignant progression....
Clinical manifestations of neonatal sepsis are often unspecified. Therefore, sepsis biomarkers could be used to support diagnosis while waiting for blood culture results, such as the neutrophil-to-lym...
