Analytical performance evaluation of the GreenCare A1c and Cera-Stat HbA1c point-of-care testing assays.
Background: The escalating prevalence of diabetes underscores the need for precise diagnostic tools to facilitate effective management. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a crucial biomarker for long-term glycemic control in diabetic patients. Point-of-care testing (POCT) for HbA1c offers rapid, accessible alternatives to conventional laboratory methods, but uncertainties persist regarding the accuracy and reliability of POCT assays.
Methods: This study evaluates the analytical performance of two boronate-affinity based HbA1c POCT assays, the GreenCare A1c and Cera-Stat HbA1c. Various analytical parameters including precision, linearity, comparison, and accuracy are assessed following guidelines from Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), with results applied to certification criteria from the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) and International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC). Furthermore, 52 and 13 frozen EDTA whole blood samples were respectively used for additional evaluation of accuracy and interference due to Hb variants for the GreenCare A1c assay.
Results: Both GreenCare and Cera-Stat demonstrated good precision (repeatability CV% 1.5-1.9 and total imprecision CV% 1.6-2.2), linearity (R2 = 0.9996 & 0.9990), and correlation (r = 0.982 & 0.978) with an established HbA1c analyzer, the Bio-Rad D100. The GreenCare also exhibited good accuracy with frozen EDTA samples with known HbA1c values. Both assays met the certification criteria from NGSP and IFCC, classifying them as "standard" according to IFCC model for quality targets for HbA1c.
Conclusions: This evaluation affirms the reliability of GreenCare and Cera-Stat POCT assays for HbA1c measurements, which can potentially reduce unnecessary referrals and enhance the overall quality of diabetes diagnosis and treatment.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry is the fully peer reviewed international journal of the Association for Clinical Biochemistry and Laboratory Medicine.
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry accepts papers that contribute to knowledge in all fields of laboratory medicine, especially those pertaining to the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human disease. It publishes papers on clinical biochemistry, clinical audit, metabolic medicine, immunology, genetics, biotechnology, haematology, microbiology, computing and management where they have both biochemical and clinical relevance. Papers describing evaluation or implementation of commercial reagent kits or the performance of new analysers require substantial original information. Unless of exceptional interest and novelty, studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not generally considered within the journal''s scope. Studies documenting the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with particular phenotypes will not normally be considered, given the greater strength of genome wide association studies (GWAS). Research undertaken in non-human animals will not be considered for publication in the Annals.
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry is also the official journal of NVKC (de Nederlandse Vereniging voor Klinische Chemie) and JSCC (Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry).
