Clinical and Analytic Accuracy of Simultaneously Acquired Hemoglobin Measurements: A Multi-Institution Cohort Study to Minimize Redundant Laboratory Usage.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Frequent diagnostic blood sampling contributes to anemia among critically ill children. Reducing duplicative hemoglobin testing while maintaining clinical accuracy can improve patient care efficacy. The objective of this study was to determine the analytical and clinical accuracy of simultaneously acquired hemoglobin measurements with different methods.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Two U.S. children's hospitals.

Patients

Children (< 18 yr old) admitted to the PICU.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

We identified hemoglobin results from complete blood count (CBC) panels paired with blood gas (BG) panels and point-of-care (POC) devices. We estimated analytic accuracy by comparing hemoglobin distributions, cor
