一种具有集成决策支持工具的即时护理方法，用于估计人群水平的贫血
January 19th, 2024
在护理点缺乏准确的血红蛋白估计方法，并可能阻碍基于人群的贫血治疗计划。因此，我们开发了一种基于混合毛细血管血液的即时护理方法，并将自动分析仪集成到定制软件应用程序中，将血红蛋白值分类为不同等级的贫血。
贫血是印度的一个主要公共卫生问题。筛查和治疗方法被认为是解决贫血的一种有前途的策略。然而，到目前为止，还没有建立任何方法可以在护理点做到这一点。
我们试图建立一种用于血红蛋白估计的即时方法。我们还尝试将这种方法集成到自定义软件中，该软件决定参与者是否贫血，并根据血红蛋白水平，软件中的内置算法也指导治疗，所有这一切都在几秒钟内发生。使用该协议，我们可以获得准确的血红蛋白估计结果，同时减少测试结果的周转时间。
这将使开始治疗时能够快速决策。此外，这将导致干预措施的改善。这种综合方法可以用作医务人员在医疗机构决定IFA治疗的工作辅助工具。
它也可以用于任何涉及 Hb 测试的现场服务或干预计划。展望未来，我们希望将我们的方法与护理点可用的其他侵入性和非侵入性血红蛋白估计方法进行比较。我们还想研究我们的方法在现场环境中的成本效益。
