  • Antinuclear Antibodies Assay: A Comparative Study between HELIOS and Artificial Interpretation

    ObjectiveTo verify the consistency between artificial interpretation and automatic interpretation by HELIOS automatic immunofluorescence system by comparing their results on the same antinuclear antibodies (ANA) fluorescent slides, and analyze the application of automatic interpretation clinically. MethodA total of 281 ANA fluorescent slides of 281 impatients or outpatients in February 2015 were analyzed by HELIOS automatic immunofluorescence system and artificial interpretation respectively. As HELIOS could only determine the titer not the fluorescence type, only the negative or positive results qualitatively and the titer of ANA positive slides were analyzed. ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference between HELIOS automatic immunofluorescence system and artificial interpretation in negative or positive rate qualitatively (P>0.05) . The total coincidence rate was 98.9%, the positive coincidence rate was 99.5%, and the negative coincidence rate was 97.4%, and the kappa coefficient was 0.973. The difference of titer between the two groups had no statistical significance (P>0.05) . ConclusionsThe results of HELIOS automatic Immunofluorescence system and artificial interpretation are in good consistency. HELIOS automatic immunofluorescence system is suitable for clinical use as its high degree of automation, simple operation and result reliability.
