Research Article: Pooled prevalence of lymphopenia in all-cause hospitalisations and association with infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Date Published: 2023-12-02

Abstract:
Lymphopenia is defined as a decrease below normal value (often 1.0 x 109 cells/L) of blood circulating lymphocyte count. In the general population, lymphopenia is associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation secondary to infection, independent of traditional clinical risk factors. In hospital, lymphopenia is associated with increased risk of healthcare-associated infection and mortality. By summarising lymphopenia’s prevalence and impact on clinical outcomes, we can identify an at-risk population and inform future studies of immune dysfunction following severe illness.
