Venous Blood Cell Ratios as Predictors of Reperfusion Outcomes in Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Elevated pre-treatment NLR consistently predicted poor outcome and mortality after reperfusion therapy for AIS, supporting its role as a simple biomarker for early risk stratification. Future large, prospective multicenter studies with standardized methods are needed to confirm the clinical utility of these inflammatory ratios in stroke management.
