Key result
The Accutrend Plus system showed high concordance with laboratory methods (Lin's coefficient ≥0.944) and high sensitivity (≥80.0%) and specificity (≥95.2%) for measuring blood variables.
Why the study?
Does the Accutrend Plus system accurately measure blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides compared to laboratory determination in adults?
Population

Does the Accutrend Plus system accurately measure blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides compared to laboratory determination in adults?
Coqueiro et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Adults (n=53). Accutrend Plus system vs. Labmax 240 analyzer was evaluated on Accuracy and precision of blood glucose, total cholesterol, and plasma triglycerides. The Accutrend Plus system showed high concordance with laboratory methods (Lin's coefficient ≥0.944) and high sensitivity (≥80.0%) and specificity (≥95.2%) for measuring blood variables.
