Measurement of HbA1c in multicentre diabetes trials – should blood samples be tested locally or sent to a central laboratory: an agreement analysis
BACKGROUND Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is an important outcome measure in diabetes clinical trials. For multicentre designs, HbA1c can be measured locally at participating centres or by sending blood samples to a central laboratory. This study analyses the agreement between local and central measurements, using 1-year follow-up data collected in a multicentre randomised controlled trial (RCT) ...

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: The current challenge of diabetes mellitus is to prevent its complications. These complications are directly associated with hyperglycemia in diabetics. The HbA1c measurement is essential for long-term glycemic control. Synchronization of HbA1c measurement is important in order to avoid discrepancies between resu...
متن کاملVery low HbA1C, is it a problem?
Dear Editor An important problem to manage diabetes mellitus is controlling the patients` blood glucose. Fluctuation of blood glucose results in molecular biochemistry change and can result in unwanted diabetic complications (1). In clinical practice, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) is a common useful laboratory test to follow-up patients with diabetes (2). Sometimes, an unexpecte...
متن کاملGlycated haemoglobin A1c measurement in stored whole blood sample is reliable for clinical use.
Glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) gives an integrated plasma glycaemia for the previous 2-3 months and its measurement is central in the management of diabetic patients. However in many developing countries because kits/regents or expertise for HbA1c measurement are not always available and the test must be conducted on fresh whole blood samples, HbA1c tests are not routinely performed Thus, thi...
