The fiscal consequences of central vs distributed testing of glucose.

Abstract:

:We have compared the operational, medical, and fiscal consequences of performing urgent glucose testing at the bedside vs in the central laboratory. The turnaround time (TAT) with bedside testing was only 1-2 min shorter than that from the central laboratory, to which specimens are sent by pneumatic tube and from which results are automatically broadcast by computer to the originating site. No significant adverse medical outcomes were associated with this difference in TAT. The cost of bedside testing is approximately twice that of central laboratory testing.

  • Systematic Review and Metaanalysis Comparing the Bias and Accuracy of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration Equations in Community-Based Populations.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:The majority of patients with chronic kidney disease are diagnosed and monitored in primary care. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a key marker of renal function, but direct measurement is invasive; in routine practice, equations are used for estimated GFR (eGFR) from serum creatinine. We systematically a...
