DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0169593
Abstract: Introduction Rapid detection of abnormal biological values using point-of-care (POC) testing allows clinicians to promptly initiate therapy; however, there are concerns regarding the reliability of POC measurements. We investigated the agreement between the latest generation… read more here.
