Use of Sysmex XN-10 red blood cell parameters for screening of hereditary red blood cell diseases and iron deficiency anaemia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In daily practice in haematology laboratories, red blood cell (RBC) abnormalities are frequent and their management is a real challenge. The aim of this study is to establish a "decision tree" using RBC and reticulocyte parameters from the SYSMEX XN-10 analyser to distinguish between patients with a hereditary RBC disease from iron deficiency anaemia and other patients.

Methods

We analysed results of complete RBC counts in a cohort composed of 8217 adults divided into 5 different groups: iron deficiency anaemia (n = 120), heterozygous haemoglobinopathy (n = 92), sickle cell disease syndrome (n = 56), hereditary spherocytosis (n = 18) and other patients (n = 7931). A Classification And Regression Tree (CART) analysis was used to obtain a two-step decision tree in order to predict these previous groups.

Results

Five parameters and the calculated RBC score were selected by the CART method: mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, percentage of microcytes, distribution width of the RBC histogram, percentage of nucleated red blood cells, immature reticulocytes fraction and finally RBC Score. When applying the tree and recommended flowchart, 158/166 of the RBC hereditary disease patients and 114/120 iron deficiency anaemia patients are detected. Overall, the correct classification rate reached 99.4%. Sensitivity and specificity for RBC disease detection were 95.2% and 99.9%, respectively. These results were confirmed in an independent validation cohort.

Conclusion

Based on the XN-10 RBC and reticulocyte parameters, we propose a two-step decision tree delivering a good prediction and classification of hereditary RBC diseases. These results can be used to optimize additional reticulocyte analysis and microscopy review.

Project description:BackgroundBloodstream infections (BSIs) are a significant burden on the global population and represent a key area of focus in the hospital environment. Blood culture (BC) testing is the standard diagnostic test utilised to confirm the presence of a BSI. However, current BC testing practices result in low positive yields and overuse of the diagnostic test. Diagnostic stewardship research regarding BC testing is increasing, and becoming more important to reduce unnecessary resource expenditure and antimicrobial use, especially as antimicrobial resistance continues to rise. This study aims to establish a machine learning (ML) pipeline for BC outcome prediction using data obtained from routinely analysed blood samples, including complete blood count (CBC), white blood cell differential (DIFF), and cell population data (CPD) produced by Sysmex XN-2000 analysers.MethodsML models were trained using retrospective data produced between 2018 and 2019, from patients at Sir Charles Gairdner hospital, Nedlands, Western Australia, and processed at Pathwest Laboratory Medicine, Nedlands. Trained ML models were evaluated using stratified 10-fold cross validation.ResultsTwo ML models, an XGBoost model using CBC/DIFF/CPD features with boruta feature selection (BFS) , and a random forest model trained using CBC/DIFF features with BFS were selected for further validation after obtaining AUC scores of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] respectively using stratified 10-fold cross validation. The XGBoost model obtained an AUC score of 0.76 on a internal validation set. The random forest model obtained AUC scores of 0.82 and 0.76 on internal and external validation datasets respectively.ConclusionsWe have demonstrated the utility of using an ML pipeline combined with CBC/DIFF, and CBC/DIFF/CPD feature spaces for BC outcome prediction. This builds on the growing body of research in the area of BC outcome prediction, and provides opportunity for further research.

Project description:BackgroundThe Sysmex XN-V is derived from the new Sysmex XN series of human hematology analyzers. The main changes from the previously validated XT-2000iV analyzer include an optic-fluorescent analysis for platelets and nucleated RBC count.ObjectiveWe aimed to validate the Sysmex XN-V for canine blood according to American College for Veterinary Clinical Pathology and International Council for Standardization in Hematology recommendations.Materials and methodsCanine EDTA blood specimens and quality control material were analyzed on the Sysmex XN-V to evaluate imprecision, bias, linearity, a comparison with the XT-2000iV analyzer, interference effects, carry-over, and stability. We also verified previously established Sysmex XT-2000iV reference intervals (RIs).ResultsImprecision and bias were low (<5%) for most variables. Observed total error was lower than allowable total error for most measured variables except lymphocytes and monocytes. Visually determined linearity was excellent for all variables, except for lymphocytes. The correlation between the XN-V and XT-2000iV analyzers was high (>0.93) for all variables except MCHC and reticulocyte indices. Correlations between the Sysmex XN-V and manual differential counts were good for neutrophils and eosinophils, acceptable for lymphocytes, and fair for monocytes. Hemolysis, lipemia, and to a lesser extent icterus, had significant effects on measured hemoglobin concentration and associated variables. Carry-over was not visually observed for any variable. Changes in the Sysmex XN-V measurements after storage at 4℃ and 24℃ were similar to those described for the Sysmex XT-2000iV analyzer. The previously established Sysmex XT-2000iV RIs can be used to interpret results from the Sysmex XN-V analyzer for most variables except red blood cell distribution width and mean platelet volume.ConclusionsThe performance of the Sysmex XN-V analyzer was excellent and compared favorably with the Sysmex XT-2000iV analyzer.

Project description:Background Cell population data (CPD) parameters related to neutrophils, such as fluorescent light intensity (NE-SFL) and fluorescent light distribution width index (NE-WY), have emerged as potential biomarkers for sepsis. However, the diagnostic implication in acute bacterial infection remains unclear. This study assessed the diagnostic value of NE-WY and NE-SFL for bacteremia in patients with acute bacterial infections, and those associations with other sepsis biomarkers. Methods Patients with acute bacterial infections were enrolled in this prospective observational cohort study. For all patients, a blood sample, with at least two sets of blood cultures, were collected at the onset of infection. Microbiological evaluation included examination of the blood bacterial load using PCR. CPD was assessed using Automated Hematology analyzer Sysmex series XN-2000. Serum levels of procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), presepsin, and CRP were also assessed. Results Of 93 patients with acute bacterial infection, 24 developed culture-proven bacteremia and 69 did not. NE-SFL and NE-WY were significantly higher in patients with bacteremia than in those without bacteremia (p < 0.005, respectively), and were significantly correlated with the bacterial load determined by PCR (r = 0.384 and r = 0.374, p < 0.005, respectively). To assess the diagnostic value for bacteremia, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used. NE-SFL and NE-WY showed an area under the curve of 0.685 and 0.708, respectively, while those of PCT, IL-6, presepsin, and CRP were 0.744, 0.778, 0.685, and 0.528, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the levels of NE-WY and NE-SFL were strongly correlated with PCT and IL-6 levels. Conclusion This study demonstrated that NE-WY and NE-SFL could predict bacteremia in a manner that may be different from that of other indicators. These findings suggest there are potential benefits of NE-WY/NE-SFL in predicting severe bacterial infections.
