Article Synopsis
- In low-income countries, photometers like HemoCue-301 are used to screen and manage anaemia and assess iron status for public health interventions.
- This study evaluated the accuracy of HemoCue-301 in determining haemoglobin levels in anaemic children aged 6-12 months in rural Africa, using a more precise reference method, Sysmex XN-1500.
- Results showed significant bias in HemoCue-301 measurements for children with haemoglobin below 8.0g/dL, indicating it may not reliably measure low haemoglobin levels in this population.
