Objectives:
Investigate agreement between lipid pathology results from point-of-care testing (PoCT) devices and laboratories.
Design And Methods:
Agreement was assessed using the Bland-Altman method.
Results:
: Mean difference (limits of agreement) were: -0.28 mmol/L (-1.04, 0.48) for total cholesterol, -0.09 mmol/L, (-0.55, 0.36) for HDL-C. Median difference (nonparametric limits of agreement) were 0.07 mmol/L, (-0.40, 3.04) for triglycerides.
Conclusions:
The clinical acceptability of the variation between lipid PoCT and laboratory test results is debatable but our work provides baseline data for further research.

Serum lipids are fats and fatty substances in the blood and are crucial for various bodily functions, including energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production. Serum lipids consist of cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like substance found in all body cells. It is crucial for producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid...
