Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Effect of capillaire sampling in buffersolution and kept at roomtemperature on
23 laboratory parameters.In this study the outcome of different tests (CRP,
ALAT, Albumine, Alkalisch fosfatase, Amylase, ASAT, Cholesterol, Kreatinine,
Ferritine, Immunoglobulines, IJzer, Gamma-GT, HbA1c, HDL cholesterol, LDL
Cholesterol, Apolipoproteine B, Totaal Eiwit, Transferrine, Triglycerides, TSH,
Holotranscobalamine, Foliumzuur, Hemoglobin, Leucocytes, Trombocytes, LD and
NT-proBNP) will be evaluated between blood drawn by venapuncture and capillary
blood (capillary blood kept in Hem-Col tubes for 72 hrs).
Results of these tests (blood drawn by venapuncture) will be reported to their
physician.
Secondary outcome
Participants experience of capillary sampling.
Background summary
New bloodcollection systems are nowadays on the market. Hem-Col is a new
bloodcollectiontube which contains a buffer solution. A few drops of capillary
blood can be stored in this buffer solution for 72 hrs at roomtemperature. This
system needs to be tested in a patientpopulation. In this study patients are
asked to draw a few drops of capillary blood and put them in the buffer of
absorbance material. The outcome of different laboratory parameters are
compared to the outcome of the tests in venous blood and blood analysed within
4 hrs.
These new systems might have some advantages over the common practice:
Less blood is needed. 4-40 mL compared to maximal 200 uL.
Patients perform the bloodsampling themselves. No nurses are needed.
Patient can do the blooddrawing at home. They don't have to go to the nearest
bloodcollectioncentre.
A independent scientific evaluation of these new systems has never been
performed before.
Study objective
Effect of capillary blood collected in Hem-Col and kept at roomtemperature for
72 hrs on several routine laboratory parameters. The results of the tests are
compared with the outcome of these tests when blood is collected by
venapuncture and immediately analyzed.
The experience of the participants will be evaluated.
Study design
In total a group of 160 patients will be asked to participate in this study: 4
groups of 40 patients.
Group 1: venous sampling vs Hem-Col kept at roomtemperature for 72 hrs.
Group 2: venous sampling vs. Hem-Col kept at roomtemperature and mailed to the
laboratory.
Study burden and risks
No burden or risk for the participants other than the normal burden and risks
for capillary sampling by a CE marked lancet.
