ABSTRACT
Objective To verify result consistency of the improved examination method and the standard operation method with the erythrocyte osmotic fragility test (OFT).Methods The samples and reagents were reduced half volume and used different testing equipment to evaluate methods for OFT.Selected 100 samples that the brittleness were increased and de-creased (50 samples positive and negative respectively),used a kind of improved examination method and traditional test method to evaluate the consistency.Results The detection result of improved examination method and the detection results of the manufacturer standard method were consistent (t=1.660 8,P >0.05).So,there was no significant difference of con-trast between two groups of data.Conclusion Improved mothed OFT alternatives to traditional OFTscreening method could be faster,more objectively the results of clinical service,and could effectively reduce reagent and manpower cost,improve the efficiency of work.Therefore,this method could be used to groups detection and lack of equipment for the primary care of hospital screening thalassemia desease method is preferred.
