Abstract:

Objective To investigate the performance of CytoDiff flow cytometry for determining blasts in peripheral blood. Methodse A total of 976 patients were enrolled in Hematology Department of Ruijin Hospital from April 2015 to March 2016. White blood cell (WBC) differentiation was performed by hematology analyzer,CytoDiff flow cytometry and morphology differentiation. The consistency was analyzed between hematology analyzer and CytoDiff flow cytometry with morphology differentiation as standard method. Results The average time required to analyze 20 samples was approximately 60 min for CytoDiff flow cytometry,and the manual operation time was about 15 min. The correlations of WBC differentiation were good among hematology analyzer,CytoDiff flow cytometry and morphology differentiation. The r was 0.959 between CytoDiff flow cytometry and morphology differentiation,and the r of neutrophils,lymphocytes,monocytes,eosinophils,basophils and immature granulocytes were 0.938,0.893,0.871,0.962,0.833 and 0.786. The r between hematology analyzer and morphology differentiation were 0.902,0.750,0.436,0.860,0.758 and 0.678,respectively. When >1% was set as the cut-off value of blasts on morphology differentiation,there were 235 positive cases among 976 samples,the hematology analyzer appeared "blasts" in 283 samples,and the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of hematology analyzer were 75.7%,85.8%,62.9% and 91.8%,respectively. When >1% was set as the cut-off value on CytoDiff flow cytometry,there were 239 positive cases,and the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CytoDiff flow cytometry were 100.0%,99.5%,98.3% and 100.0%,respectively. Conclusions A cut-off value of 1% of blasts is recommended for CytoDiff flow cytometry,which is a sensitive,specific,accurate and rapid method for determining blasts. CytoDiff flow cytometry meets the demand of clinic for the early determination and the monitor of curative effects,and it has prospect in blast determination.
