Items for "Westergren method"
Background: We evaluated the measurement of length of sedimentation reaction in blood (LSRB) by TEST 1 and compared the results with those for the Westergren and Sed Rate Screener 100 (SRS 100) methods.
Methods: LSRB was measured in 113 paired blood samples.
Results: TEST 1 correlated significantly with the Westergren (r=0.94) and SRS 100 (r=0.90) methods with low bias (?0.29 and ?1.92 mm/h, respectively) and limits of agreement (?14.5 to 13.9, and ?23.4 to 19.6 mm/h, respectively)...
