Introduction: The hematocrit (Hct) and hemoglobin (Hb) values are routinely used in hospitals to monitor the evolution of the patient's health status and are the basis for clinical management. Both can be measured by the laboratory tests of blood gas analysis and complete blood count; however, the scientific literature on the equivalence between these results is controversial. Objectives: The present study compared the results of Hct and Hb from laboratory autoanalyzer and blood gas analyzer of a clinical laboratory of a high complexity pediatric hospital in Brazil and evaluated the correlation between them. Materials and methods: Results were collected from 2263 patients aged zero to 18 years who have simultaneous blood samples taken for full blood count and blood gas analysis over six months. For statistical calculations, patients were divided into children under 30 days, between 31-180 days, 180 days-2 years, and 2-18 years. Results: The results revealed a difference between the Hct and Hb results obtained by the different devices. Although a strong positive correlation between these results has been demonstrated in most age groups, children over two years had only a moderate correlation for Hb levels. Conclusion: Considering that such differences can result in changes in clinical and therapeutic management, it has been concluded that the alternate use of these methods is not recommended in the monitoring of pediatric patients unless a proper correction factor is determined and adopted to minimize methodological differences.

Introduction: Routine urinalysis is among the most requested exams in the clinical laboratory, assisting in the diagnosis of various diseases and treatment follow-up. In this case, the pre-analytical phase is extremely important because the quality of the sample directly influences the analysis and interpretation of the result. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the main errors in the pre-analytical phase of routine urine examination in a private laboratory and their frequency of occurrence. Material and method: Data were collected from 2014 to 2018. In all, 107,277 urine samples were registered and 98 (0.09%) were sent for recollection. Results: Recollect requests were higher among females (81.6%), and the most affected age groups were 51 to 60 years old and 21 to 30 years old. The most common justification for recollection was insufficient material (48.0%), followed by confirmation of results in 24.5% of cases. The predominance of urine recollection in women was due to their having urine tests more often since they are more prone to urinary tract infections, especially in the sexually active and postmenopausal life stages. Conclusion: In general, the urine recollection rate obtained in the research was lower than the goal set by the laboratory; however, the main reasons that led to recollection request could be avoided or minimized if patients had been well educated on the correct collection procedures, indicating the need for constant training and training programs of the work team.
