LI Hong-li NIE Qing-dong. Comparison Between MONOTOR-J+ and Westergren for Measuring ESR[J]. Health Medicine Research and Practice, 2006,(4):26-28.DOI:
Objective MONITOR-J+ is an automated analyzer to measure the erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate(ESR).We evaluated the performance of the equipment and established the reference range of ESR of healthy persons. Method Using MONITOR-J+ system and Westergen
method to measure 106 samples (include clinical patients and healthy persons). Results The equation of the results of MONITOR-J+ system compared with westergren is Y=0.967 4X+0.688 7
r=0.961
showed a satisfactory repeatability. Conclusion The results of MONITOR-J+ compared with westergren
and linear regression analysis showed a satisfactory correlation between the two methods. MONITOR-J+ is a better method to measure ESR.
