Among them, reticulated platelets (RPs) have gathered attention for their association with prothrombotic states and as a potential biomarker for cardiovascular events.

Study authors were contacted to provide sex\u2010specific patient\u2010level data. Two studies were excluded due to data unavailability. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Secondary endpoints included cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, urgent revascularization, and bleeding incidents. All outcomes were stratified by sex.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The analysis included 5 studies, reporting outcomes in 1835 patients (527 females and 1308 males).
