Hematocrit correction does not improve glucose monitor accuracy in the assessment of neonatal hypoglycemia
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The lack of accuracy of point of care (POC) glucose monitors has limited their use in the diagnosis of neonatal hypoglycemia. Hematocrit plays an important role in explaining discordant results. The objective of this study was to to assess the effect of hematocrit on the diagnostic performance of Abbott Precision Xceed Pro (PXP) and Nova StatStrip (StatStrip) monitors in neonates.
METHODS: All blood samples ordered for laboratory …
