Comparative study between Westergren and erythrocyte sedimentation pipette method for determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

A comparative study between standard Westergren and erythrocyte sedimentation pipette (Sediplast) methods for determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate was performed on 80 individual subjects. From the study, the comparison-of-methods plot Sediplast method (X) vs Westergren method (Y) gave the least square linear regression equation of Y = 1.001 X - 2.24 (r = 0.99). Precision analysis gave a coefficient of variation below 3 per cent. The new erythrocyte sedimentation pipette method seems to be an effective and safe method for erythrocyte sedimentation rate determination in the present day.

Comparative study between the classical Westergren and the new sealed vacuum extraction methods for erythrocyte sedimentation rate determination.

A comparative study between the classical Westergren and the new sealed vacuum extraction methods for erythrocyte sedimentation rate determination was performed on 80 individual subjects. The comparison-of-methods plot sealed vacuum extraction method (X) vs Westergren method (Y) gave a least square linear regression equation of Y = 1.001 X + 0.03 (r = 0.99) and precision analysis gave a coefficient of variation below 3 per cent. Compared to the classical method, the sealed vacuum extraction method was easy to use, showed acceptable precision and reduced biohazard risk to the practitioner, therefore, it was suitable for a laboratory setting with a high rate of blood-borne infectious diseases such as Thailand.
