Overview

Retrospective trial assesses point-of-care glucose accuracy in neonates, suggesting confirmatory tests may be unnecessary.

Key Points

  • This study evaluates the reliability of point-of-care glucose measurements in neonates and their correlation with laboratory results.
  • Retrospective cross-sectional comparative study of 108 newborns in the NICU.
  • POC glucose results from Nova Stat Strip were compared to laboratory serum glucose from Roche cobas c501.
  • Correlation and regression analyses calculated the reliability of POC measurements.
  • A significant correlation was found between serum and POC glucose levels (r=0.825).
  • Deming regression showed a slope of 1.223 and intercept of -0.75, indicating strong agreement.
  • Passing-Bablok regression produced a slope of 1.200 and intercept of -0.70, supporting the accuracy of POC devices.
