PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searchedfor studies of ARDs and hematological indices. Standardized mean difference (SMD) was calculated with confidence interval (CI) of 95%. 18 studies were included in our meta-analysis. Compared to the healthy control group, neutrophil\u2013lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was increased in patients with ankylosing spongdylitis(AS), Beh\u00e7et\u2019s disease(BD), andrheumatoid arthritis(RA)(SMD\u2009=\u20090.33; 95% CI: 0.19 to 0.47; SMD\u2009=\u20091.90; 95% CI: 0.13 to 3.67; SMD\u2009=\u20090.75; 95% CI: 0.23 to 1.28). Platelet\u2013lymphocyte ratio (PLR) was found increased in RA and SLE (SMD\u2009=\u200933.91; 95% CI: 20.50 to 47.32; SMD\u2009=\u200959.11; 95% CI: 4.46 to 113.76). Mean platelet volume (MPV)was irrelevant to BD and SLE by comparing with the healthy control group respectively. (SMD\u2009=\u20090.24; 95% CI: \u22120.49 to 0.97; SMD\u2009=\u2009\u22120.15; 95% CI: \u22121.77 to 1.48). Red cell distribution width (RDW) was not related to AS (SMD\u2009=\u20090.59, 95% CI: \u22120.37, 1.55). Our findings indicated that NLR had a strong association with AS, BD, and RA. PLR was also related to RA and SLE. NLR and PLR could be recommended as inexpensive diagnostic biomarkers for ARDs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-11398-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,1]],"date-time":"2017-09-01T06:52:13Z","timestamp":1504248733000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["The Relationship between Hematological Indices and Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases (ARDs), a Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Xuanyu","family":"Hao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dongyang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9894","key":"11398_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"797","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61499-3","volume":"382","author":"F Goldblatt","year":"2013","unstructured":"Goldblatt, F. & O\u2019Neill, S.
