Objective:
Biochemical items play a significant role in clinical decision-making, so this study aims to evaluate the performance of different biochemical platforms.
Methods:
We collected 1,524 serum samples that were centrifuged, and plasma was analyzed for HDL-C, LDL-C, Apo A1, Apo B, PA, and Fs-CRP with the Mindray BS2000M and Roche Cobas 8000 platforms. The results were evaluated by a non-parametric two-related sample test, Passing-Bablok regression analysis, Weighted Least Square analysis (WLS), and Bland-Altman analysis according to CLSI EP09-A3, EP5-A2, and EP15-A3.
Results:
Between the two systems, there were statistically significant differences in the average bias of LDL-C, Apo A1, Apo B, PA, and Fs-CRP (P<0.001). Moreover, the acceptable clinical performance evaluation test results showed that the differences between low medical decision levels of HDL-C, LDL-C, Apo A1, Apo B, and Fs-CRP in the two systems were clinically unacceptable, while the other items were acceptable.
Conclusion:
These findings suggest that the two platforms have good correlation and consistency in high-concentration medical decision levels in HDL-C, LDL-C, Apo A1, Apo B, and Fs-CRP, and all levels of PA in the two platforms are interchangeable and can replace each other.
