Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the clinical performance of homemade Precil C3510 automatic coagulation analyzer for routine coagulation parameters [prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),fibrinogen(Fib) and D-dimer(DD)] and its application in monitoring the efficiency of warfarin and unfractionated heparin anticoagulant therapy. Methods According to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI) guidelines,the imprecision,interference,linearity and reference intervals of Precil C3510 for the determinations of PT,APTT,Fib and DD were validated. The consistency between Precil C3510 and STA-Compact automatic coagulation analyzer(STA-Compact) was evaluated by Spearman correlation,Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman plot with STA-Compact as a reference system. The consistency of the international normalized ratio(INR) between Precil C3510 and STA-Compact for patients receiving warfarin therapy was evaluated. APTT monitoring range for Precil C3510 based on the standard of 0.3-0.7 IU/mL of anti-Xa activity determined by STA-R Evolution was investigated. Results The imprecision,linearity and reference intervals of Precil C3510 met the manufacturers' requirements. Triglyceride with 3.2 mg/mL and more higher concentrations had a negative effect on DD. The 2 instruments had good consistency in determining PT and Fib. There was no systematic,proportional and random differences,and the deviations were within clinical acceptance interval. APTT determined by the 2 instruments had systematic difference [regression equation intercept was -18.121 6,95% confidence interval(CI) -26.003 9--12.522 1],proportional difference (slope was 1.261 8,95%CI 1.123 4-1.435 6) and random difference(the bias within ±1.96s accounting for 92.31%),and the average bias (-18.9%,95%CI -22.9%--14.9%)was not within the clinical acceptance interval(-7.5%-7.5%). The results of the 2 instruments had a consistency in judging APTT based on their respective reference intervals(Kappa value was 0.87,95%CI 0.74-0.99). The APTT-based unfractionated heparin anticoagulant therapeutic range of Precil C3510 was 62-108.1 s. The INR of 35 patients(87.5%)receiving warfarin therapy showed a INR difference<0.5,indicating a good correlation between the 2 instruments. Conclusions Precil C3510 has good analytical performance for routine coagulation parameters,and it can be used to monitor the anticoagulation effect of warfarin and unfractionated heparin for routine analysis.
