Creatinine, mg/dL
Central lab serum analyser, kinetic Jaffe compared with Point of care analyser, venous whole blood. 89 paired results.

Comparison line
The new system reads 0.6% lower than the old system on average. The comparison line (Passing-Bablok) has a slope of 1.429 (95% interval 1.25 to 1.667) and an intercept of -0.343.
Fig. 1. The comparison line against the line of no change, over the range of the decision limits (1.2, 1.5 mg/dL). Dots mark where each line meets each limit; the gap between them is the bias at that limit.
Crossing each limit
Results that fall on the other side of a decision limit on the new system than on the old, read as if the new system had replaced the old, against the number repeat testing on one unchanged system would move. The program reports the count across all limits together.
All decision limits together (1.2, 1.5 mg/dL)
Crossed between the two systems: 1
Expected from repeat testing alone: about 1
Grade and warnings
- Re-test band: Indicative: 89 pairs, below the 100-pair protocol minimum.
- Band half-width around each limit: 27.66%.
- Results re-tested on data the band was not fitted to, median: 12%.
- Repeat-test imprecision: default value.
- Note: Fewer than 5 results crossed beyond what repeat testing alone would move; excess caught is not meaningful here.
