Diagnostic and prognostic role of NLR in testicular cancer.
Explor Target Antitumor Ther
September 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32608, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and its implications in testicular cancer, finding that NLR is higher in patients than in healthy individuals or those with benign conditions.
- - Post-surgery, specifically after orchiectomy, NLR levels significantly decrease, indicating a potential response to treatment.
- - An elevated NLR is associated with several negative prognostic factors, such as advanced cancer stage and poorer outcomes, although it cannot distinguish between different types of testicular cancer.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord
May 2024
Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.
Introduction: In the current systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to analyze the existing literature to evaluate the role of inflammatory biomarkers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) among individuals with cardiac syndrome X (CSX) compared to healthy controls.
Methods: We used PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, and Embase to systematically search relevant publications published before April 2, 2023. We performed the meta-analysis using Stata 11.
Introduction: The inflammatory response to burn injuries can lead to organ dysfunction that ultimately results in increased mortality and morbidity. This meta-analysis was conducted to determine the efficacy of inflammatory biomarkers, including the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), procalcitonin (PCT), and C-reactive protein (CRP) as predictive tools of mortality among burn patients.
Material And Methods: The biomarker levels of survivors and non-survivors were consolidated according to guidelines for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).

BMC Womens Health
March 2024
Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.
Background: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) levels between women with post-menopausal osteopenia or osteoporosis to those with normal bone mineral density (BMD).
Methods: We used Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus to conduct a systematic search for relevant publications published before June 19, 2022, only in English language. We reported standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI).
Prognostic Role of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Allergic Rhinitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
February 2024
Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.
Unlabelled: One of the crucial triggers of allergic diseases is an inflammatory reaction and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is one of the systemic inflammation biomarkers. Our review aimed to evaluate role of NLR in predicting severity and comorbidities of allergic rhinitis (AR). We systematically searched Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed to find relevant studies.

- The study investigates the relationship between the pre-operative neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in gastrointestinal surgery patients and the occurrence of anastomotic leaks (AL).
- A systematic review and meta-analysis included 12 studies with nearly 3,000 participants, revealing that those with AL had significantly higher NLR levels compared to those without.
- Subgroup analysis indicated that while retrospective studies showed a strong correlation, prospective studies did not, and the association varied by ethnicity, being significant for white patients but not for East Asian patients.
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the potential value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as an assessment tool in the clinical distinction between uterine sarcoma and uterine leiomyoma.
Methods: We comprehensively searched Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed for relevant papers published before March 19, 2023. The standardized mean difference (SMD) was provided, along with a 95% confidence interval (CI).
Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to analyze oxidative and antioxidative markers in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) compared to healthy controls, including data from 30 studies.
- Results indicated that RAS patients had significantly lower activities of certain antioxidants, like erythrocyte superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, and total antioxidant status in serum, while they exhibited increased levels of oxidative stress markers such as serum malondialdehyde.
- Despite these differences, some antioxidant levels and vitamins (like E and C) were comparable between RAS patients and healthy individuals, suggesting ongoing oxidative stress plays a significant role in RAS pathology, though the exact causes remain unclear.

J Clin Tuberc Other Mycobact Dis
December 2023
Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- - The study systematically reviewed existing research to assess the diagnostic ability of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in distinguishing between tuberculosis (TB) and bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (B-CAP) using PRISMA guidelines.
- - An analysis of data revealed that TB patients had significantly lower NLR levels compared to B-CAP patients, with consistent results found across various study quality and populations, especially in Asian cohorts.
- - The study concluded that lower NLR levels could serve as an effective biomarker to differentiate between TB and B-CAP, with pooled sensitivity and specificity values indicating strong diagnostic potential.
