Comparison of Nonlinear Methods for Hematocrit Estimation from the Transduced Anodic Current Curve

摘要

Hematocrit (HCT) is expressed as the percentage of red blood cells in the whole blood. It is an important factor for clinical decision marking and known as the most highly influencing factor for glucose measurements by handheld devices. Thus, estimating this factor plays an important role in improving accuracy of glucose measurements. In this paper, we present a comparison of nonlinear methods for hematocrit estimation from the transduced current curve which is produced by glucose-oxidase reaction in strip-type electrochemical biosensors.
