Assessing Concordance of Results: A Comparative Study of the Manual and Automated Urinalysis Methods

CONCLUSION: The automated and manual methods showed similar performances and good correlation, especially for physical and chemical examination. However, manual microscopy remains necessary to classify urine sediments, particularly for bacteria and yeast-like cells. Future research with larger samples could help validate automated urinalysis for wider clinical use and identify areas requiring improved automated detection capabilities.PMID:38682117 | PMC:PMC11055648 | DOI:10.1155/2024/6963423
