The VU University Medical Center (VUmc) was the first hospital in the Netherlands to introduce the Delfia Xpress for the analysis of free beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-hCG) and pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) in the first trimester screening program for Down syndrome. Since then, others have implemented this system. In this study, we tested the equality of measurements for free beta-hCG and PAPP-A between Delfia Xpress systems and one AutoDelfia system.
A total of 40 serum samples were aliquoted and stored at -20 degrees C. Samples were analyzed by six Delfia Xpress systems and one AutoDelfia system over a time period of 2 years.
The relationships between free beta-hCG and PAPP-A were excellent for the different Delfia Xpress systems (r>0.99, p<0.0001). For PAPP-A, the agreement between the main system at VUmc and five other systems was linear with slopes between 0.99 and 1.06. Similarly, agreement for free beta-hCG was linear with slopes between 0.99 and 1.09. Likewise, agreement for PAPP-A and free beta-hCG was excellent for the AutoDelfia vs. the main Delfia Xpress at the VUmc (r>0.99, p<0.0001). For both PAPP-A and free beta-hCG, the relationships were linear with slopes of 1.08 and 1.07.
We demonstrate an excellent agreement for the analysis of PAPP-A and free beta-hCG between Delfia Xpress systems and one AutoDelfia system.
阿姆斯特丹自由大学医学中心(VUmc)是荷兰第一家引入Delfia Xpress用于在唐氏综合征孕早期筛查项目中分析游离β-人绒毛膜促性腺激素(β-hCG)和妊娠相关血浆蛋白A(PAPP-A)的医院。自那时起,其他机构也采用了该系统。在本研究中,我们测试了Delfia Xpress系统和一台AutoDelfia系统之间游离β-hCG和PAPP-A测量结果的一致性。
总共40份血清样本被分装并储存在-20℃。在2年的时间里,由6台Delfia Xpress系统和1台AutoDelfia系统对样本进行分析。
不同Delfia Xpress系统之间游离β-hCG和PAPP-A的相关性非常好(r>0.99,p<0.0001)。对于PAPP-A,VUmc的主要系统与其他5个系统之间的一致性呈线性,斜率在0.99至1.06之间。同样,游离β-hCG的一致性也呈线性,斜率在0.99至1.09之间。同样,对于AutoDelfia与VUmc的主要Delfia Xpress系统,PAPP-A和游离β-hCG的一致性也非常好(r>0.99,p<0.0001)。对于PAPP-A和游离β-hCG,两者的关系均呈线性,斜率分别为1.08和1.07。
我们证明了Delfia Xpress系统和一台AutoDelfia系统在分析PAPP-A和游离β-hCG方面具有非常好的一致性。
