Abstract | Objectives: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the performance and added value of rapid glucose determination in cerebrospinal fluid using a connected glucometer. Design and methods: Intra-assay and inter-assay accuracies were calculated using residual clinical samples. Accuracies were measured by comparing the results obtained with the glucometer to those from the central laboratory on a large routine chemistry platform. Results: The intra-assay coefficients of variation were between 6.1% and 6.2% for low values (18 mg/dL) and between 5.6% and 6.8% for high values (58 mg/dL). The inter-assay coefficients of variation were between 9.4% and 16.3% for the low values (18 mg/dL) and between 5.7% and 8.7% for the high values (pool; ±75 mg/dL). The regression equation by comparison to the central laboratory was y = 4.08 + 0.82 x, with a coefficient of determination (r Conclusions: The measurement of glycorrhachia with a connected glucometer before the analysis in the central laboratory allows a rapid orientation in the deferential diagnosis of a meningitis of viral vs bacterial origin. The response time is fast (6 s) and requires only a small amount of fluid (1.2 μL), which is important in infants, especially since lumbar puncture is an integral part of the investigation of the origin of a fever in this population. |
