چکیده
To compare between standard Westergren and modified microhaematocrit method for determination for erythrocyte sedimentation rate Study design: A laboratory method comparative study. Subjects: blood samples from 80 individual subjects. For each subject, two methods for erythrocyte sedimentation rate determination were performed. The first method was the Westergren method as a standard method and the second was the modified microhaematocrit method. Then comparison for both methods was performed. From the study, the comparison-of-methods plot and modified microhematocrit method (X) VS Westergren method (Y) gave the least square linear regression equation of Y = 0.996 X + 0.77 (r = 0.99). Precision analysis gave a coefficient of variation below 3%. The new erythrocyte sedimentation rate determination gave good correlation to the standard method. It seems to be an effective and safe method for erythrocyte sedimentation rate determination in the present day.

Comparative Study between the Westergren and Automated Method for Determination of the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
A comparative study between the standard Westergren and a new automated method for the determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was performed on 80 individual subjects. From this study, the comparison-of-methods plot automated method (X) and VS Westergren method (Y) gave the least square linear regression equation of Y=0.978 X + 0.64 (r=0.98). Precision analysis gave a coefficient ...
متن کاملA Comparison Between the StaRRsed Auto-Compact Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Instrument and the Westergren Method
BACKGROUND The Westergren method is the golden standard for measuring erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). All ESR methods should agree with the standardized method of the International Council for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH). Citrate samples are commonly used for ESR. This extra sample adds costs and can be inconvenient for the patient. Therefore, some new automated ESR analyzers use...

Purpose Sedimentaion rate is often used to manage pediatric patients with rheumatologic disease. Most management decisions are dependent on studies which have used Wintrobe or Westergren sedimentation rate methodologies. However, these methods suffer from the need for relatively large amounts of blood and long turn-around times. Determination of sedimentation rate using laser kinetic rate deter...

The Diesse Mini-Ves (DMV) erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) analyzer was designed to improve efficiency in determining the ESR. We compared the Westergren ESR method with the 4-sample DMV ESR analyzer for performance and clinical correlation. This prospective observational study, conducted at a 450-bed tertiary medical center, evaluated 291 paired samples from subjects with various systemic ...
