Background: The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is increasingly known as an indicator of systemic inflammation. It used a predictor for clinical outcomes in cancers and cardiovascular disease. However, its relationship with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) still disputed. Aims: We sought to evaluate the association between NLR ICH this meta-analysis. Methods: Potentially relevant articles were searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline EMBASE until April 8, 2018, English restriction. Efficacy included major disability at 90 days, short-term mortality or in-hospital mortality. Odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) pooled estimate prognostic role ICH. Results:A total 7 trials 2176 patients included. results our meta-analysis revealed that high had higher risk days (OR: 2.20; CI: 1.27-3.81) 1.31; 1.02–1.68); without statistically significant 1.02; 0.91–1.15). Conclusions: Our proves was short term ICH, but not
