Ecuaciones de transformación de valores de HbA1c obtenidos por un método trazable al método de referencia de la IFCC a valores trazables a los esquemas de estandarización japonés y norteamericano

These new developed master equations are useful tools, although only for use in our laboratory, to transform reference method values to the Japanese and United States schemes values. Despite them show statistically significant differences with real values directly obtained from the analyzer, they are considerably robust due to the high number of samples used to obtain them. The small differences in the values obtained with the equations developed in this study compared to the direct values from the analyzers will not affect clinical management of diabetes as the difference in medians between the values obtained from the analyzer and values obtained using the equations is less than 0.1%.
