Implication

Comparative study evaluates the accuracy of hemoglobin measurement in donors, suggesting portable devices are effective.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the accuracy and applicability of hemoglobin measurement via portable and automated systems in blood donor screening.
  • Cross-sectional comparative study with 95 randomly selected blood donors.
  • Capillary blood analyzed using a portable hemoglobinometer and venous blood with an automated hematology analyzer.
  • Statistical analysis included mean, standard deviation, and 95% confidence intervals.
  • Mean hemoglobin value: 13.96 ± 1.81 g/dL (portable) vs 14.14 ± 1.85 g/dL (automated).
  • Mean difference between methods: 0.2 g/dL.
  • Strong correlation with minimal variation observed between the two methods.
