Increased serum C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with future risk of coronary heart disease in apparently healthy individuals. Numerous high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) methods are available but their comparability in large populations has not been assessed. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of two CRP methods in a large Asian population.
We compared the Tina-quant CRP immunoturbidimetric assay (Roche COBAS INTEGRA) to the N high-sensitivity latex-enhanced immunonephelometric (BN 100 nephelometer, Dade Behring) assay using 4118 serum samples from the International Collaborative Study on Atherosclerosis and Stroke in Asia (Inter ASIA).
The median hs-CRP value for the N high-sensitivity CRP method (1.23 mg/L) was significantly lower than that for the Tina-quant method (1.50 mg/L), P < 0.001. The two methods were highly associated (r = 0.9916). Deming regression analysis gave a slope of 0.958 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.954-0.962] with an intercept of 0.280 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.268-0.292]. The mean of the method differences was 0.19 mg/L and the limits of agreement (LOA), which encompass 95% of results, were -0.36-0.74 mg/L. We found the percentages of low, average, and high-risk results were 42.9, 33.8, and 23.3 for the N high-sensitivity CRP and 33.2, 41.1, and 25.7 for the Tina-quant method. The percentage of samples concordant by both methods was 87.4%. The Tina-quant CRP classified more subjects into the high-risk group.
The two hs-CRP methods were highly associated and are suitable for screening large populations.
血清C反应蛋白(CRP)升高与看似健康个体未来患冠心病的风险相关。有多种高敏CRP(hs-CRP)检测方法,但它们在大量人群中的可比性尚未得到评估。本研究旨在评估两种CRP检测方法在一大亚洲人群中的性能。
我们使用来自亚洲动脉粥样硬化与中风国际合作研究(Inter ASIA)的4118份血清样本,将Tina-quant CRP免疫比浊法(罗氏COBAS INTEGRA)与N高敏乳胶增强免疫比浊法(BN 100比浊仪,德灵)进行比较。
N高敏CRP检测方法的hs-CRP中位数(1.23mg/L)显著低于Tina-quant检测方法(1.50mg/L),P<0.001。两种方法高度相关(r = 0.9916)。Deming回归分析得出斜率为0.958[95%置信区间(CI):0.954 - 0.962],截距为0.280[95%置信区间(CI):0.268 - 0.292]。方法差异的均值为0.19mg/L,包含95%结果的一致性界限(LOA)为 - 0.36 - 0.74mg/L。我们发现N高敏CRP检测方法低、中、高风险结果的百分比分别为42.9%、33.8%和23.3%,Tina-quant检测方法分别为33.2%、41.1%和25.7%。两种方法结果一致的样本百分比为87.4%。Tina-quant CRP检测方法将更多受试者归类为高风险组。
两种hs-CRP检测方法高度相关,适用于大规模人群筛查。
