Evaluation of the Sysmex DI-60 digital morphology analyzer on Wright-stained samples with a focus on prevalence-dependent quality indicators

CONCLUSION: The DI-60 system works well for Wright-stained samples collected in the non-hematology ward. Due to the varying prevalence of cell categories found in peripheral blood, a low PPV can be expected with automatic assignment for those cells with low prevalence (e.g., basophils, eosinophils, precursor and progenitor cells, plasma cells). If the pre-test probability of these conditions is increased, manual microscopic processing may be recommended.PMID:37751907 | DOI:10.1111/ijlh.14179
