A Simulation Study to Assess the Effect of Analytic Error on Neonatal Glucose Measurements Using the Canadian Pediatric Society Position Statement Action Thresholds

摘要

The Canadian Pediatric Society (CPS) has endorsed an algorithm for the screening and immediate management of babies at risk of neonatal hypoglycemia that provides time-dependent glucose concentration action thresholds. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of glucose analytic error (bias and imprecision) on the misclassification of glucose meter results from a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) using the CPS guidelines.
