The Prognostic Value of Reticulated Platelets in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Yihan ZhaoDazhuo Shi

Abstract

Background: Reticulated platelets (RPs) represent the young population in the circulating platelet pool, indicating platelet turnover. Preliminary studies suggested circulating levels of RPs were associated with cardiovascular events (CVEs) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: This study systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science for eligible studies which reported RPs as a prognostic factor and the incidence of CVEs in patients with CAD. The risk estimates and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were analyzed for adjusted and unadjusted associations separately using random-effects model. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis were used to identify the source of heterogeneity. Funnel plots, Egger's test, and trim and fill methods were used to assess the publication bias. Results: A total of six cohort studies were included in this meta-analysis. Four studies were rated as high quality with the remaining rated as moderate quality. The funnel plot, Egger's test, and trim and fill method suggested the presence of publication bias. The pooled results indicated elevated RPs were associated with a higher risk of composite CVEs [risk ratio (RR), 2.26; 95% CI, 1.72-2.98, with little heterogeneit...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
