The network meta-analysis for pair-comparisons of inflammatory biomarkers among the cohorts with current PE/DVT, PE, DVT, CVT and controls. As for the levels of WBC, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, hs-CRP, NLR and PLR, the pair comparison between cohorts with PE/DVT, PE, DVT and CVT reached null hypothesis. When comparing with the controls, the cohort with PE/DVT had significant differences in the levels of WBC (MD, 1.95, 95%CI, 1.06—2.85) and NLR (MD, 1.81, 95%CI, 0.34—3.48); DVT had significant differences in the levels of WBC (MD, 1.52, 95%CI, 0.33—2.73); PE had significant differences in the levels of neutrophil (MD, 5.69, 95%CI, 0.52—10.81) and NLR(MD, 2.39, 95%CI, 0.02—4.77); CVT had significant differences in the levels of lymphocyte (MD,−0.40, 95%CI,−0.82—−0.01), NLR (MD, 0.95, 95%CI, 0.15—2.54) and PLR (MD, 41.40, 95%CI, 2.33—77.99)
