Area of Science:

Clinical pathology
Laboratory medicine
Hematology

Background:

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a common laboratory test.
Automated ESR analyzers offer potential for faster and more efficient testing.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare ESR results from an automated analyzer with the established Westergren method.
To evaluate the clinical utility and efficiency of ESR analyzers.

Main Methods:

A comparative study involving 75 patients.
Analysis of ESR results obtained from an automated analyzer and the Westergren method.
Statistical analysis including linear regression and intra-class correlation.

Main Results:

A good correlation was observed between the ESR analyzer and Westergren method (r = 0.818, p < 0.01).
Intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.82, indicating high agreement.
The analyzer method demonstrated significant advantages in safety and reduced technician time.

Conclusions:

Automated ESR analyzers provide reliable and accurate results comparable to the Westergren method.
ESR analyzers enhance laboratory efficiency, patient safety, and timely diagnosis.
The adoption of ESR analyzers can improve overall patient care through rapid result delivery.
