Popis: Abstract The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as an inflammatory marker may represent changes between inflammation and host immunity that affect the prognosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). To comprehensively evaluate the NLR in PTCL, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between the NLR and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for all relevant studies. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained from each study. Heterogeneity among the included studies was checked to determine whether fixed or random effects model was used. In total, 8 studies with 921 patients were included for the meta-analysis. High NLR significantly correlated with worse OS (HR = 2.20, 95% CI 1.71–2.83, P
