Table 4.

The number of readings within each LabHb range.

Hb range (g/dL) N Mean bias Standard deviation Difference SpHb – LabHb (g/dL)
≤1, % ≤1.5, % ≤2.0, %
<8 3   1.23 2.48 67 67 67
8–10 24 −0.06 2.98 29 38 46
10–12 26   0.7 2.1 42 50 65
12+ 30 −0.47 2.64 50 73 80

Mean results for the Modified Bland–Altman plot are then included as the mean difference between the SpHb and LabHb as the mean bias. The absolute difference between the SpHb and LabHb is also included as the percentage of readings in each Hb range within ≤1, ≤1.5, and ≤2.0 g/dL.
