Background: The most clinically useful blood ketone in the diagnosis, management, and recovery of diabetes ketoacidosis in both adults and children is 3-hydroxybutyrate. In the absence of laboratory routine methods, several point-of-care methods are in use, but very few clinical evaluations are published.
Methods: This study evaluates linearity and reproducibility of two handheld point-of-care meters for blood 3-hydroxybutyrate measurement for hospital use, Nova StatStrip, and FreeStyle Precision Pro.
