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]

J Clin Med, 2023
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]

J Clin Lab Anal, 2019
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 ...

Clinical significance of Platelet-to-White Blood Cell Ratio (PWR) and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) in acute ischemic stroke. [PDF]

Heliyon, 2020
Ischemic stroke can occur due to disruption of blood and oxygen supply to brain tissue. White blood cells and platelets play an important role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Several studies have concluded that the lower the platelet count and the higher the number of white blood cells in ischemic stroke patients will result in a more severe ...

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]

Front Cardiovasc Med
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.

Low Platelet to White Blood Cell Ratio Indicates Poor Prognosis for Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int, 2018
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).

Clinical significance of platelet-to-white blood cell ratio in patients with Wilson disease: a retrospective cohort study. [PDF]

PeerJ
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

Platelet to white blood cell ratio predicts 30-day postoperative infectious complications in patients undergoing radical nephrectomy for renal malignancy. [PDF]

Can Urol Assoc J, 2017
Introduction: We sought to examine the relationship between preoperative platelet to white blood cell ratio (PLT/WBC), a hematological marker of the systemic inflammatory response, and postoperative infectious complications following radical nephrectomy for localized renal cell carcinoma.Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients ...

A low preoperative platelet-to-white blood cell ratio is associated with acute kidney injury following cerebral aneurysm treatment in South Korea. [PDF]

Acute Crit Care
Background: Inflammation is involved in the pathophysiology of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). We investigated whether preoperative platelet-to-white blood cell ratio (PWR), a novel serum biomarker of systemic inflammation, was associated with postoperative AKI following cerebral aneurysm treatment. We also compared the discrimination power of

Platelet-to-White Blood Cell Ratio (PWR): A Novel Prognostic Biomarker for Spontaneous Reperfusion after Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. [PDF]

J Saudi Heart Assoc
Spontaneous reperfusion (SR) occurring before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) can offer additional clinical benefits to patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The Platelet-to-White Blood Cell Ratio (PWR) has been recognized as a prognostic indicator in various diseases.

Platelet-white cell ratio is more strongly associated with mortality than other common risk ratios derived from complete blood counts

Nature Communications
Complete blood count indices and their ratios are associated with adverse clinical outcomes for many acute illnesses, but the mechanisms generating these associations are not fully understood.
