Significance of Vacuette SRS Method For The Determination of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) With Conventional Method As Gold Standard
Journal Title: Journal of Indus Medical College - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To compare Vacuette (SRS 20/11) ESR values to Conventional/ Standard stergren method with objective of validating the automated and alternative methods. Patients and Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis, performed at Department of Pathology, Indus Medical College Hospital Tando Muhammad Khan. Manual Westergren process and Vacuette (SRS) methods subjected a total of 120 blood samples to ESR estimations. Results evaluated on version 21.0 of SPSS. The results were evaluated, and their association was calculated by using the coefficient of Pearson correlation in SPSS. Results: Powerful significant association exists between the Westergren process Vacuette SRS methods with Pearson coefficient 0.96 and highly significant p value <0.001. Conclusion: Vacuette SRS is well associated with the Westergren manual process and is effective and remarkably suitable for employment in clinical laboratories with heavy workload.
