Background: Using an automated haematology analyzer in a haematology laboratory is now both a routine and a critical requirement. Anemia is a widespread ailment all over the world, and there is an increasing need to diagnose and treat it because it can have a variety of long-term effects.
The goal of this
study was to evaluate the sensitivity of the red blood cell histogram and
indices obtained with an automated haematology analyzer to manual blood film
assessment in anaemia patients.
This observational
cross-sectional study was carried out in the Central Hematology Laboratory of
the Pathology Department in a tertiary care centre in Gujarat. The study
comprised thirty patients with anaemia who visited numerous departments for
varied reasons. Demographic information and laboratory data were collected. The
analysis was carried out using Epi Info software. The study included a total of
130 patients who met the WHO anaemia diagnostic criteria. In our study, the
histogram's sensitivity was found to be 87.6 percent. The red blood cell
histogram and indices for microcytic hypochormic anaemia have 94.2 percent
sensitivity and 63.1 percent specificity, respectively. The red blood cell
histogram and indices for normocytic anaemia had 96.7 percent sensitivity and
49.1 percent specificity, respectively. The red blood cell histogram and
indices for macrocytic anaemia have sensitivity and specificity of 98.2 percent
and 90.3 percent, respectively.
