Novel comparison of CellaVision DC-1 and microscopic assessment of blood film morphology in paediatrics
Background
The aim of this study was to evaluate the blood film assessment of CellaVision DC-1 compared to conventional microscopy in stained peripheral blood (PB) films from paediatric samples.
Methods
Blood films (n = 50) including clinically normal samples as well as common pathological conditions, were collected and examined by conventional microscopy and CellaVision DC-1. Manual microscopy counts vs. automated WBC differentiation and RBC grading via Cellavision, including manual re-classification, were compared to expert morphologist reporting. Using statistical analysis, the following metrics were measured including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV).
Results
The reliability of RBC grading ranged between 60 and 100 % sensitivity and 55–74 % specificity for CellaVision method compared to 78–93 % sensitivity with manual microscopy, demonstrating the latter as the superior method. Additionally, DC-1 misclassified the presence of blasts for lymphocytes, with 67 % compared to 100 % specificity with the gold standard microscopy. Both pre- and post-classification, re-classifications, and manual microscopy showed strong correlations of WBC differential counts with expert/known readings, mainly for neutrophils and lymphocytes ( 0.60–0.85). In terms of time, CellaVision took 1 min longer to scan and assess each slide than did light microscopy, which could affect timely diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Conclusion
The use of CellaVision DC-1 may be beneficial to diagnostic laboratories in the adult setting; however, further research should focus on enhancing automated analysis when assessing paediatric samples that demand human intellect and critical thinking. Medical Scientist training and software development are recommended. Manual microscopy is faster and more accurate. Slide signing and DC-1 classifications of unclassified WBCs need scientist intervention.
