Abstract

Introduction: The use of urine cytobacteriological examination is a common and essential practice in medicine which helps guide therapeutic management in case of urinary tract infection. The cytological examination of urine samples can be done using the manual (microscopic) or automated technique. The automated approach, which involves the use of artificial intelligence, is faster, more reliable, and more efficient for laboratories.

Aim: This work aims to evaluate the performance of the DxU-850 Iris automate by comparing it to the microscopic method.

Methods: Using a four-month prospective study from May to August 2023, we analyzed urine samples received during this period by the Microbiology laboratory of Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda. Strict quality standards were respected when obtaining the results. Several elements were analyzed, and various parameters calculated to evaluate the performance of this automaton.

Results: The present study investigated 1000 CBEU samples, mainly from outpatient clinics (46.34%) and emergency departments (21.72%). Most patients were males (50.58%) and asymptomatic (72.9%). The samples' culture showed varied results: concordance between the results of automaton and microscopic count was satisfactory except for crystals and yeasts in turbid samples.

Conclusion: Automation has advantages like speed, traceability, error reduction, and time optimization. The results reveal a satisfactory concordance between the two methods despite discordances occurring mainly with crystals and yeasts, especially in turbid urine samples. The DxU-850 Iris automaton is an effective way to screen for urinary tract infections. We recommend that automated and manual techniques be considered complementary.

泌尿细胞学:DxU-850虹膜自动机与显微镜检查。
导读:尿细胞细菌学检查是尿路感染病例中指导治疗管理的一项普遍和必要的医学实践。尿液样本的细胞学检查可以使用人工(显微镜)或自动技术进行。自动化方法涉及人工智能的使用,对实验室来说更快、更可靠、更高效。目的:本工作旨在通过将DxU-850虹膜自动化与显微镜方法进行比较来评估其性能。方法:采用2023年5月至8月为期4个月的前瞻性研究,对乌伊达穆罕默德六世大学医院微生物实验室在此期间收到的尿液样本进行分析。在获得结果时遵守严格的质量标准。分析了几个因素,计算了各种参数来评价该自动机的性能。结果:本研究共调查了1000份CBEU样本,主要来自门诊(46.34%)和急诊科(21.72%)。男性占50.58%,无症状者占72.9%。样品的培养结果各不相同:除了混浊样品中的晶体和酵母外,自动机和显微计数结果的一致性令人满意。结论:自动化具有速度、可追溯性、减少错误和优化时间等优势。结果显示两种方法之间的一致性令人满意,尽管不一致主要发生在晶体和酵母中,特别是在浑浊的尿液样本中。DxU-850虹膜自动机是一种有效的尿路感染筛查方法。我们建议将自动化技术和手工技术相辅相成。
