| Popis: | The neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio(NLR) has been used for diagnosing venous thromboembolism (VTE). We aimed to assess the accuracy of NLR to diagnose VTE by meta-analysis. Systematic electronic searches were conducted June 2, 2021 in PubMed, Embase(Ovid), and Cochrane Library. The search did not have any language or time restriction applied. Our search strategy was based on keywords in combination with both medical subject headings (MeSH) terms and text words. The diagnostic odds ratio, summary receiver operating characteristics, sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio were estimated. 10 articles with 1513 VTE participants and 2593 control participants were included for quantitative synthesis. The pooled values were as follows: sensitivity = 0.68(95% CI 0.45-0.84), specificity = 0.73(95% CI 0.6-0.83), positive likelihood ratio = 2.5(95% CI 1.8-3.4), negative likelihood ratio = 0.44(95% CI 0.26-0.75), diagnostic odds ratio = 6(95% CI 3-11), and SROC = 0.76(95% CI: 0.73-0.8). NLR could be diagnostic factor for the detection of potential VTE, the accuracy thereof in the current meta-analysis exhibited moderate accuracy for diagnosing VTE. Furthermore, further large cohort studies are needed to determine optimal cut-off values of NLR. |
