Reliability of International Normalized Ratio Results in the CoaguChek Pro II System in a Clinical Setting.

ABSTRACT: The National Institute of Cardiology has previously used the CoaguChek^® XS Plus system (Roche Diagnostics International Ltd), comparing capillary blood prothrombin time/international normalized ratio (PT/INR) results with those obtained using BCS-XP/Thromborel (Siemens). We assessed the reliability of PT/INR results using the third-generation CoaguChek Pro II system, the CoaguChek XS Plus system, and cobas^® t 411 for citrated plasma analysis. Venous and capillary PT/INR were measured (N = 204). Spearman's correlation, Bland-Altman, and concordance analysis between methods were conducted. Spearman's correlation coefficients between venous/capillary INR were high for CoaguChek Pro II versus CoaguChek XS Plus (r = 0.994), CoaguChek Pro II versus cobas t 411 (r = 0.967), and CoaguChek XS Plus versus cobas t 411 (r = 0.968). Good concordance was observed among capillary methods (concordance coefficient [κ] = 0.888) and remaining relationships (P < .001 for all): cobas t 411 versus CoaguChek XS Plus (κ = 0.696) and cobas t 411 versus CoaguChek Pro II (κ = 0.684). In conclusion, good agreement was observed between CoaguChek Pro II, CoaguChek XS Plus, and cobas t 411.

Project description:BackgroundLife-long vitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy is recommended as a standard of care in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) patients with thrombosis. Concerns have been raised about the validity of international normalized ratio (INR) measurements in lupus anticoagulant (LA)-positive APS patients because LA may interfere with phospholipid-dependent coagulation tests and could elevate INR measurements.ObjectivesHere, we aimed to determine the interference of antigen-specific monoclonal and isolated patient antibodies with LA activity on INR measurements.MethodsPooled normal plasma and control plasma from patients on VKA (without LA) were incubated with monoclonal and isolated patient immunoglobulin G antiprothrombin and anti-beta-2-glycoprotein I antibodies that express LA activity. INR was determined before and after addition using 3 laboratory assays (Owren STA-Hepato Prest, Quick STA-NeoPTimal, and Quick STA-Neoplastine R) and 1 point-of-care test device (CoaguChek Pro II).ResultsAntiprothrombin and anti-beta-2-glycoprotein I antibodies with LA activity interfered with recombinant human thromboplastin reagents (Quick STA-Neoplastine R and CoaguChek Pro II), particularly when added to plasma of VKA-treated controls. This effect was most evident on point-of-care test INR measurements, while the recombinant Quick reagent exhibited a lesser degree of interference. In contrast, tissue-derived thromboplastin reagents (Owren STA-Hepato Prest and Quick STA-NeoPTimal) remained largely unaffected by these antibodies, both in pooled normal plasma and VKA anticoagulated control plasma. Among these reagents, the Owren INR reagent exhibited the lowest sensitivity to the influence of LA antibodies. This observed difference in sensitivity is independent of the plasma dilution factor or the presence of factor V or fibrinogen in Owren reagent.ConclusionINR reagents that utilize recombinant human thromboplastin are more sensitive to the presence of monoclonal and patient-derived antibodies with LA activity. Consequently, APS patients positive for LA should be monitored using tissue-derived thromboplastin reagents, given its reduced susceptibility to interference by LA-causing antibodies.

Project description:BackgroundCurrently, there is a lack of sepsis screening tools that can be widely used worldwide. Pulmonary sepsis can be of sufficient concern to physicians due to their noticeable symptoms, which usually rely less on screening tools.AimTo investigate the efficiency of the international normalized ratio (INR) for the early rapid recognition of adult nonpulmonary infectious sepsis.MethodsThis is a prospective observational study. A total of 108 sepsis patients and 106 nonsepsis patients were enrolled according to relevant inclusion and exclusion criteria. Commonly used clinical indicators, such as white blood cell, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR), platelets (PLT), prothrombin time, INR, activated partial thromboplastin time, and quick Sequential "Sepsis-related" Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) scores were recorded within 24 h after admission. The diagnostic performances of these clinical indicators were analyzed and compared through multivariate logistic regression analysis, Spearman correlation, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.ResultsThe INR value of the sepsis group was significantly higher than that of the nonsepsis group. INR has superior diagnostic efficacy for sepsis, with an area under the curve value of 0.918, when those preexisting diseases which significantly affect coagulation function were excluded. The diagnostic efficacy of the INR was more significant than that of NLCR, PLT, and qSOFA (P < 0.05). Moreover, INR levels of 1.17, 1.20, and 1.22 could be used to categorize the relative risk of nonpulmonary infections sepsis into three categories: low, medium and high risk, respectively.ConclusionThe INR is a promising and easily available biomarker for diagnosis, and it can be used as one of the indicators for early screening of adult nonpulmonary infectious sepsis. When its value is higher than the optimal cutoff value (1.22), high vigilance is required for adult nonpulmonary infectious sepsis.
