Key result
Elevated pre-intervention platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio was significantly associated with the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (OR 1.01; 95% CI 1.00-1.01; p=0.000).
Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of pre-intervention platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in predicting the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Does pre-intervention platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) predict the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation?
Odds Ratio: 1.01 (95% CI 1–1.01)
p-value: p=0.000
Elevated pre-intervention platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio may serve as a risk factor and predictor for postoperative atrial fibrillation, though results were sensitive to individual study variations.
Ye et al. (2024) conducted a meta-analysis in Postoperative atrial fibrillation (n=3,195). Pre-intervention platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) was evaluated on Occurrence of atrial fibrillation after surgery (OR 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.01, p=0.000). Elevated pre-intervention platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio was significantly associated with the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (OR 1.01; 95% CI 1.00-1.01; p=0.000).
