ABSTRACT

Objective. To compare the seric glycemia determinated in central laboratory with two strips point-of-care: chromogen and ion selective electrode technology.
Methods. In newborns with medican indication for determination of glycemia, we take two dropsof the waste blood to semiquantitative determination of glucose with both strips.
Results. We find a Pearson´s coefficient between seric glucose and chromogen strip of 0.741 with a tipical error of 49 mg/dL; and a Pearson´s correlation between seric glucose and ion selective electrode technology of 0.935 (p › 0.001) with tipical error of 25.82 mg/dL.
Discussion. We find better correlation seric glucose and ion selective eletrode technology than with chromogen strip in newborns.
