TABLE 1.

Correlation analysis and mean bias (%) of user performance, comparison with technician‐derived values, and comparison of sample types (capillary and venous blood samples) using the GCare Lipid Analyzer

	Lipid test	Correlation coefficient (R)	Bias (%)
User performance	TC	0.957 (0.938–0.971)	−2.1
	TG	0.991 (0.986–0.994)	1.5
	HDL‐C	0.936 (0.908–0.955)	3.6
User vs. technician	TC	0.963 (0.947–0.975)	2.0
	TG	0.993 (0.989–0.995)	0.6
	HDL‐C	0.939 (0.912–0.958)	−2.4
Sample types	TC	0.945 (0.928–0.957)	−0.7
	TG	0.988 (0.984–0.991)	0.0
	HDL‐C	0.926 (0.904–0.942)	−1.8

Abbreviations: HDL‐C, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride.
