This month, Dr. Westgard was teaching his spring semester class for the University of Wisconsin Medical Technology school. He likes to use recently published papers in the scientific literature as a way to relate his lessons to things happening in the "real world" of the laboratory.
This semester, he has written up a number of lessons covering HbA1c methods, performance, and quality requirements based on the article in Clinical Chemistry, Few Point-of-Care Hemoglobin A1c Assay Methods Meet Clinical Needs, by David E. Bruns1 and James C. Boyd and a study by Lenters-Westra and Slingerland (Six out of eight hemoglobin A1c point-of care instruments do not meet the generally accepted analytical performance criteria. Clin Chem 2010;56:44 –52.)
For your convenience, here are the lessons in order...
