Background: The predictive role of the lymphocyte-associated inflammation index in post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) remains controversial. Therefore, we performed an updated meta-analysis to update the evidence.

Methods: This meta-analysis was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been proposed as a promising inflammatory biomarker, with potential implications for cardiovascular prognosis. However, its association with mortality outcomes in hypertensive individuals is not fully elucidated. This investigation sought to clarify the linkage between PLR and both overall and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive individuals.

Introduction: To the best of our knowledge, a possible predictive relationship between the systemic coagulation-inflammation index (SCI) and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure following AVF creation has not yet been examined. We therefore designed this study to examine the predictive ability of SCI on postoperative early AVF failure in patients undergoing primary radiocephalic AVF operation.

Methods: A total of 189 patients who underwent primary radiocephalic AVF operation for hemodialysis access were included in this retrospective observational cohort study, and then divided into two groups according to whether AVF failure occurred within the first 3 months after the operation; as failed AVF group ( = 44) and non-failed AVF group ( = 145).

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates predictors of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in immunosuppressed patients with connective tissue disease undergoing pulsed-methylprednisolone (p-MPSL) therapy.
  • It is a retrospective cohort study that analyzed 200 patients' data, identifying key baseline characteristics linked to increased risk of CMV infection, including age, platelet count, lymphocyte count, and specific blood ratio metrics.
  • The findings highlight that older age and low blood cell counts significantly elevate the likelihood of CMV antigen positivity, providing insights for risk assessment in similar patient populations.
