Assessment of the performance of blood glucose monitoring systems for monitoring dysglycaemia in neonatal patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To validate a three-step protocol that assesses the clinical risk associated with using blood glucose monitoring systems (BGMS) in neonates for the management of dysglycaemia.

Method

The three-step validation approach included confirmation of the accuracy of the reference method using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) glucose standards, assessment of analytical risk performed on whole blood collected from paediatric patients routinely tested for glucose and a clinical risk assessment performed using heel stick capillary samples collected from 147 new-born babies and neonates admitted to intensive care. BGMS glucose measurements were compared with the NIST aligned laboratory reference method.

Results

The accuracy of the laboratory reference method was confirmed with the NIST standards. Specificity studies demonstrated that the accuracy of one of the BGMS was affected, particularly, in the hypoglycaemic range, by known interference factors including haematocrit, ascorbic acid, lactose, galactose, N-acetylcysteine and glutathione. The accuracy of the other BGMS was unaffected. The clinical performance of this BGMS in neonates met the system accuracy criteria of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) POCT 12-A3 standard for evaluating hospital BGMS with 95.1% of glucose measurements within±0.67?mmol/L for samples ?5.55?mmol/L and 95.6% within±12.5% for samples>5.55?mmol/L.

Conclusions

This three-step validation protocol provides a challenging approach for determining the accuracy and reliability of BGMS for managing dysglycaemia in neonates. StatStrip BGMS achieved analytical and clinical performance criteria confirming its suitability for use in neonates. We advocate that this validation approach should be considered for performance evaluations of both BGMS and continuous glucose monitoring systems going forward.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:The international standard ISO 15197:2013 requires a user performance evaluation to assess if intended users are able to obtain accurate blood glucose measurement results with a self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) system. In this study, user performance was evaluated for four SMBG systems on the basis of ISO 15197:2013, and possibly related insulin dosing errors were calculated. Additionally, accuracy was assessed in the hands of study personnel. METHODS:Accu-Chek® Performa Connect (A), Contour® plus ONE (B), FreeStyle Optium Neo (C), and OneTouch Select® Plus (D) were evaluated with one test strip lot. After familiarization with the systems, subjects collected a capillary blood sample and performed an SMBG measurement. Study personnel observed the subjects' measurement technique. Then, study personnel performed SMBG measurements and comparison measurements. Number and percentage of SMBG measurements within ± 15 mg/dl and ± 15% of the comparison measurements at glucose concentrations < 100 and ≥ 100 mg/dl, respectively, were calculated. In addition, insulin dosing errors were modelled. RESULTS:In the hands of lay-users three systems fulfilled ISO 15197:2013 accuracy criteria with the investigated test strip lot showing 96% (A), 100% (B), and 98% (C) of results within the defined limits. All systems fulfilled minimum accuracy criteria in the hands of study personnel [99% (A), 100% (B), 99.5% (C), 96% (D)]. Measurements with all four systems were within zones of the consensus error grid and surveillance error grid associated with no or minimal risk. Regarding calculated insulin dosing errors, all 99% ranges were between dosing errors of - 2.7 and + 1.4 units for measurements in the hands of lay-users and between - 2.5 and + 1.4 units for study personnel. Frequent lay-user errors were not checking the test strips' expiry date and applying blood incorrectly. CONCLUSIONS:Data obtained in this study show that not all available SMBG systems complied with ISO 15197:2013 accuracy criteria when measurements were performed by lay-users. TRIAL REGISTRATION:The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02916576). FUNDING:Ascensia Diabetes Care Deutschland GmbH.

Project description:ObjectiveWe examined Red Blood Cell (RBC) Glucose Transporter isoform 1 (GLUT1) and White Blood Cell (WBC) Glucose Transporter isoform 3 (GLUT3) protein concentrations to assess their potential as surrogate biomarkers for the presence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and response to therapeutic hypothermia (TH), with respect to the neurodevelopmental prognosis.Study designA prospective feasibility study of 10 infants with HIE and 8 age-matched control subjects was undertaken. Following parental consent, blood samples were obtained at baseline before institution of TH (<6 h of life), during TH, at rewarming and post-TH in the HIE group with a baseline sample from the control group. GLUT1 and GLUT3 were measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with brain biomarkers, Neuron-Specific Enolase (NSE) and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP). Novel "HIE-high risk" and "Neurological" scores were developed to help identify HIE and to assess severity and prognosis, respectively.ResultsRBC GLUT1 concentrations were increased at the baseline pre-TH time point in HIE versus control subjects (p = .006), normalizing after TH (p = .05). An association between GLUT1 and NSE concentrations (which was reflective of the HIE-high risk and the Neuro-scores) in controls and HIE pre-TH was seen (R2 = 0.36, p = .008), with GLUT1 demonstrating 90% sensitivity and 88% specificity for presence of HIE identified by Sarnat Staging. WBC GLUT3 concentrations were low and no different in HIE versus control, and GFAP concentrations trended higher during re-warming (p = .11) and post-TH (p = .16). We demonstrated a significant difference between HIE and controls for both the "HIE-high risk" and the "Neurological" Scores. The latter score revealing the severity of clinical neurological illness correlated with the corresponding RBC GLUT1 (R2 value = 0.39; p = .006).ConclusionCirculating RBC GLUT1 concentrations with NSE demonstrate a significant potential in reflecting the severity of HIE pre-TH and gauging effectiveness of TH. In contrast, the low neonatal WBC GLUT3 concentrations make discerning differences between degrees of HIE as well as assessing effectiveness of TH difficult. The HIE-high risk and Neurological scores may extend the "Sarnat staging" towards assessing severity and neuro-developmental prognosis of HIE.

Project description:IntroductionSufficiently high analytical quality of blood glucose monitoring systems (BGMS) is a prerequisite for efficient diabetes therapy. In this study we assessed system accuracy, measurement repeatability, intermediate measurement precision, user performance, and the influence of hematocrit on two CE-marked blood glucose monitoring systems. For one BGMS, measurement accuracy using venous samples was additionally investigated.MethodsStudy procedures were based on the International Organization of Standardization (ISO) 15197:2013/EN ISO 15197:2015 ("ISO 15197"). User performance included data from 100 subjects who used one test strip lot, whereas for all other analyses three different reagent system lots were used. For system accuracy assessment, 100 capillary samples were measured in duplicate with each of three reagent system lots per system, resulting in 600 results per system.ResultsCareSens S Fit and CareSens H Beat both fulfilled the ISO 15197 accuracy criteria with 97.5-100% of each test strip lot's results falling within ± 15 mg/dL or ± 15% of the results of the comparison method and 100% of results in consensus error grid (CEG) zone A for all three lots. User performance evaluation revealed sufficient accuracy in the hands of lay users although some handling errors were documented by study staff. Assessment of measurement repeatability and intermediate measurement precision is given by standard deviation (SD) (glucose levels < 100 mg/dL) and by coefficient of variation (CV) (glucose concentrations ≥ 100 mg/dL). SD was ≤ 4.1 mg/dL and CV ≤ 4.2% for measurement repeatability and SD was ≤ 2.2 mg/dL and CV ≤ 2.6% for intermediate measurement precision. In case of hematocrit influence, both BGMS complied with all three tested lots with the defined criteria.ConclusionBoth BGMS analyzed in this study fulfilled the required accuracy criteria of ISO 15197. They showed high precision, good performance in the hands of lay users, and the influence of hematocrit was acceptable in the labeled range.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Continuous glucose monitorings (CGMs) have been used to manage diabetes with reasonable glucose control amongst patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in recent decades. CGMs measure interstitial fluid glucose levels to provide information about glucose levels, which identify fluctuation that would not have been identified with conventional self-monitoring. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a classical tool to measure glycaemic changes. However, the effectiveness of glucose control, hypoglycemia, weight change, quality of life and user satisfaction, are needed to evaluate and compare CGMs and SMBG amongst adults with T2D. METHODS:The review will compare the various forms of CGM systems (i.e flash CGM, real-time CGM, retrospective CGM) versus SMBG or usual intervention regarding diabetes management amongst adults with T2D. The following databases will be searched: Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus and grey literature (ClinicalTrials.gov, PsycEXTRA, ProQuest Dissertations, Google Scholar and Theses Global) for the identification of studies. The studies involving adults (aged ? 18?years old) will be included. We will only include and summarise randomised clinical trials (RCTs) with respect to authors, publication type, year, status and type of devices. Studies published in English between February 2010 and March 2020, will be included as the field of CGMs amongst T2D patients has emerged over the last decade. Primary outcomes will be HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin level) (mmol/L), body weight (kg), time spent with hypoglycaemia (< 70?mg/dl) or hyperglycaemia (? 180?mg/dl), blood pressure (< 140/90?mmHg is considered as good management) and quality of life (understanding and feeling of living situation based on culture and value system). Secondary outcome measures will be user satisfaction (patient or treatment/intervention satisfaction or satisfaction scale) and barriers (physical and mental difficulties or issues). Study selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment will be conducted independently by at least two reviewers. A third reviewer will determine and resolve discrepancies. Moreover, the quality of the evidence of the review will be assessed according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation tool (GRADE). DISCUSSION:The review will synthesise evidence on the comparison between using CGMs and SMBG. The results will support researchers and health professionals to determine the most effective methods/technologies in the overall diabetes management.
