The Association between the Platelet to White Blood Cell Ratio and Chronic Kidney Disease in an Aging Population: A Four-Year Follow-Up Study [PDF]
Introduction: The platelet to white blood cell ratio (PWR) has been reported to be a prognostic factor for some diseases, such as subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, the association between the PWR and chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unknown. To investigate the cross-sectional and longitudinal association between the PWR and CKD, this study was ...

Maternal peripheral blood platelet-to-white blood cell ratio and platelet count as potential diagnostic markers of histological chorioamnionitis-related spontaneous preterm birth. [PDF]
BackgroundHistological chorioamnionitis (HCA) is one of the leading causes of spontaneous preterm birth, thus, to identify novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of HCA is in a great need.ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic value of maternal peripheral blood platelet‐to‐white blood cell ratio (PLT/WBC) and platelet (PLT) counts in HCA‐related ...

Splenectomy-induced thrombocytosis and leukocytosis may obscure the early diagnosis of post-operative infection or sepsis. In trauma patients after splenectomy, a platelet-to-white blood cell ratio of 313×103/μL) failed to show any predictive value (OR=0.94; 95% CI 0.30 to 3.0; p=0.921).

Assessment of platelet-to-white blood cell ratio on short-term mortality events in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure: evidence from a cohort study from Jiangxi, China. [PDF]
ObjectivePlatelet-to-white blood cell ratio (PWR) as a comprehensive indicator of inflammatory response has been widely used to assess the prognosis of various diseases. However, the relationship between PWR and adverse outcomes in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains unclear.

Platelet-to-White Blood Cell Ratio Is Associated with Adverse Outcomes in Cirrhotic Patients with Acute Deterioration. [PDF]
Background: The platelet-to-white blood cell ratio (PWR) is a hematologic marker of the systemic inflammatory response. Recently, the PWR was revealed to have a role as an independent prognostic factor for mortality in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic failure (ACLF) and HBV-related liver cirrhosis (LC) with acute ...

Lipolysis generates platelet dysfunction after in vivo heparin administration [PDF]
Heparin, when administered to patients undergoing operations using cardiopulmonary bypass, induces plasma changes that gradually impair platelet macroaggregation, but heparinization of whole blood in vitro does not have this effect.

Clinical significance of platelet-to-white blood cell ratio in patients with Wilson disease: a retrospective cohort study. [PDF]
Objective To assess the correlation between the platelet-to-white blood cell ratio (PWR) and the severity of liver dysfunction, hepatic complications, and prognosis in Wilson disease (WD) patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on medical records from January 1, 2016, to March 30, 2022. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were

Low Platelet to White Blood Cell Ratio Indicates Poor Prognosis for Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure. [PDF]
Background. Platelet to white blood cell ratio (PWR) was an independent prognostic predictor for outcomes in some diseases. However, the prognostic role of PWR is still unclear in patients with hepatitis B related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).
