Background: Platelets/Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) has been investigated not only in hematological diseases but also in clinical conditions involving almost all organs and systems including inflammatory, neoplastic, and cardiovascular diseases.Objectives: This study was planned to perform an analysis of the studies on PLR through the PubMed database, to measure the impact of the relevant studies on the diagnosis of diseases.Methods: This analysis was performed on 16.01.2021 by searching with the word group "platelet lymphocyte ratio", "platelet lymphocyte ratio" in the PubMed database.Results: The study included 723 articles, of which 580 (80.2%) were retrospective. It was determined that 420 (58.1%) of the studies were conducted by a single clinical department, 55.6% (n=402) were indexed in SCI/SCI-E index, 56.7% (n=410) were Open Access, and 58.8% (n=425) had significant results related to the clinical condition studied. Most publications were from Turkey (n=239, 33.1%), China (n=211, 29.2%), and Japan (n=55, 7.6%).Conclusion: The majority of the analyzed studies were retrospective, and were SCI/SCI-E indexed. Their role in malignancy diagnoses was evaluated the most. A total of 59 different clinical conditions were evaluated and "platelet lymphocyte ratio" was found useful in the diagnosis of relevant clinical conditions in 58.8% of the studies. PLR is a value that is significantly associated with the diagnosis and prognosis of many diseases and can be obtained by a simple calculation from a complete blood count.
