Overview

Systematic review determines diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care hemoglobin tests in children, highlighting challenges.

Key Points

  • POCT devices for hemoglobin measurement show variable diagnostic accuracy in children.
  • Sensitivity ranged from 24.4% to 100% and specificity from 70% to 100% across five studies.
  • HemoCue Hb301 was widely used but demonstrated inconsistent performance in measuring hemoglobin.
  • Standardized protocols and robust devices are needed to enhance the reliability of POCT in resource-limited settings.
