A Comprehensive Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Association between the Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Adverse Outcomes in Patients with Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Angelo Zinellu et al.

Summary: This study found that the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on admission is significantly associated with adverse outcomes in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), suggesting the potential utility of this biomarker for early risk stratification and management in this group.

Can Complete Blood Count Picture Tell Us More About the Activity of Rheumatological Diseases?

Sara Taha et al.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical associations of hemogram-derived indices with disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The results showed that these indices were significantly associated with disease activity and could be used to characterize the activity and anticipate the prognosis of rheumatological disorders.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fluid Neutrophils Drive Inflammation Through Production of Chemokines, Reactive Oxygen Species, and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

Helen L. Wright et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the gene expression differences between blood and synovial fluid neutrophils of rheumatoid arthritis patients, highlighting the overexpression of chemokines, ROS production, and NETs production by synovial fluid neutrophils. The research expands the understanding of molecular changes in neutrophil transcriptome during migration in inflamed joints and altered phenotype in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fluid neutrophils.

Neutrophil-lymphocyte, platelet-lymphocyte and lymphocyte-monocyte ratios may not be useful markers to assess disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis A STROBE-compliant article

Wang Lijuan et al.

Summary: The study found that NLR and PLR were associated with disease activity in RA patients based on the DAS28 scoring system, but LMR showed no significant difference. However, these indicators performed poorly in differentiating active RA patients from inactive RA patients compared to traditional inflammatory markers with higher sensitivity and specificity. Combining NLR or PLR did not significantly improve the diagnostic value of ESR and CRP.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Tied to Rheumatoid Arthritis: Points to Ponder

Wenpeng Song et al.

Summary: Neutrophil extracellular traps play a crucial role in capturing and killing pathogens involved in the inflammatory process, and may also drive the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Research has summarized the potential of neutrophil extracellular traps in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, and discussed their applications in diagnosis and treatment.

Hematological parameters as a predictor of disease remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Pornchai Dechanuwong et al.

Summary: The study revealed that hemoglobin level, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and mean platelet volume (MPV) were independently associated with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The combination of these three parameters showed a high sensitivity and negative predictive value in predicting disease remission, serving as a simple and inexpensive tool for identifying patients less likely to achieve remission.

The prognostic utility of pre-treatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte-ratio (NLR) in colorectal cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Mate Naszai et al.

Summary: Inflammation is closely related to cancer, and NLR from routine blood testing serves as an easily accessible prognostic biomarker, aiding in assessing clinical outcomes in colorectal cancer patients. Combining results from numerous studies, high NLR was found to be associated with poor clinical outcomes, despite limitations in some studies, it should be routinely collected in clinical trials.
