Descriptive statistics for progesterone concentrations obtained from 100 canine serum samples analyzed using a reference chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) and two point-of-care analyzers (POC-1 and POC-2).
Method | N | Mean ± SD | 95% CI of the Mean | Range |
---|---|---|---|---|
CLIA | 100 | 6.77 ± 7.19 ng/mL | 5.34–8.20 ng/mL | 0.20–30.50 ng/mL |
21.54 ± 22.87 nmol/L | 17.00–26.07 nmol/L | 0.64–96.99 nmol/L | ||
POC-1 | 75 | 4.5 ± 4.8 ng/mL | 3.4–5.7 ng/mL | 0.2–19.8 ng/mL |
14.4 ± 15.6 nmol/L | 10.8–18.0 nmol/L | 0.6–59.8 nmol/L | ||
POC-2 | 74 | 5.2 ± 5.6 ng/mL | 3.9–6.5 ng/mL | 0.2–18.8 ng/mL |
16.7 ± 17.9 nmol/L | 12.5–20.8 nmol/L | 0.6–63.0 nmol/L |
