Background: Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency and toxicity are worldwide issues; thus, accurate diagnostic assays are required to measure vitamin D. We evaluated the performance of the new Elecsys Vitamin D total III assay (Roche Diagnostics International Ltd).
Methods: Repeatability and intermediate precision of the Elecsys Vitamin D total III assay (cobas e 601 analyzer) were evaluated at three sites using five human serum pools (HSPs) and two PreciControls (five-day model, one reagent lot [CLSI-EP05-A3]) and compared against prespecified acceptance criteria. A serum verification panel, with reference isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS) values, was used for comparator assay/concordance studies at two sites, assessed using unweighted Deming regression. Testing of serum vs. plasma on the Elecsys assay was conducted at one site using samples from healthy adults; assessed using Passing-Bablok regression.
Results: Repeatability (HSP1 [16.8-18.4 ng/ml], SD 0.87-1.07; HSP5 [94.5-98.0 ng/ml], CV 1.58%-2.76%) and intermediate precision (HSP1, SD 1.14-1.77; HSP5, CV 2.00%-4.13%) met acceptance criteria across sites. Agreement was observed between the Elecsys assay and (i) the ID-LC-MS/MS verification panel (slope, 0.936-1.01; Pearson's r, 0.960-0.986) and (ii) comparator assays (slope, 0.921-1.15; Pearson's r, 0.958-0.982). The Elecsys assay correctly assigned the highest combined percentage of samples to deficient (100%) and insufficient (89.5%) vitamin D categories vs. comparator assays and demonstrated comparable performance in serum and plasma (y = 0.103 + 0.984x).
Conclusions: The Elecsys Vitamin D total III assay demonstrated good analytical performance and compared favorably with other assays, supporting its use in clinical practice.

Prospective appraisal of clinical diagnostic algorithms for hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B infection.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often detected at advanced stages among patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV), underscoring the urgency for more precise surveillance tests. Here, we compare the clinical performance of the novel - GAAD (gender [biological sex], age, alpha-fetoprotein [AFP], protein-induced by vitamin K absence-II [PIVKA-II]) and GALAD (gender [biological sex], age, AFP, Lens-culinaris AFP [AFP-L3]), PIVKA-II) algorithms to assess the utility of AFP-L3 for distinguishing HCC from benign chronic liver disease (CLD) in Chinese patients with predominantly chronic HBV infection. Eligible adults were enrolled, and biomarkers were measured using Elecsys (Cobas) or µTASWAKO assays.

Objective: Mandatory folic acid fortification of enriched grains has reduced neural tube defect prevalence in several countries. We examined salt as an additional vehicle for folic acid fortification. The primary objective was to examine the change in serum folate concentration after 1 month of consumption of fortified iodised salt with folic acid (FISFA) among women of reproductive age.

Background: Because of the pathophysiological role of vitamin D in health, there is an increased interest to check the clinical status of this vitamin. Immunochemical assays are commonly employed to determine 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) in clinical laboratories and its testing could be influenced by pre-analytic and analytic issues. The aim of this study was to compare the 25(OH)D results obtained from three commonly used immunoassays in pregnant women to check a possible discrepancy between tests.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted widespread lockdown measures globally, significantly impacting daily activities and outdoor exposure. This study investigates the effect of the pandemic on vitamin D levels and the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the adult population, with a focus on gender-specific differences.
Methods: A total of 1525 adults from Henan Provincial People's Hospital were included.
