By Liu XT, Han YY, Mi XL and 3 others.
Abstract
Background
This study summarized and analyzed the prognostic value of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for delayed neurologic sequelae (DNS) caused by carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Methods
PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database were searched to identify relevant articles from their inception to February 2026. The odds ratio and its 95% confidence interval (CI), area under the curve, meta-regression analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias for NLR were estimated to predict DNS.
