Association of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients receiving chronic hemodialysis: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Figure 1 PRISMA flow chart. HD: Hemodialysis; PD: Peritoneal dialysis; NLR: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio.

Figure 2 Risk of bias assessment was carried out using the Joanna Briggs Institute Tool and presented using Robvis software.

Figure 3 Forest plots illustrating the association. A: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio > 2.5 with all-cause mortality (hazard ratio); B: Cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio); C: All-cause mortality (odds ratio). ACM: All-cause mortality; CVM: Cardiovascular mortality; OR: Odds ratio; HR: Hazard ratio.
