Resumen
Objetivos

Búsqueda de errores sistemáticos en la medida de las concentraciones de triglicéridos. Valoración de su importancia para el diagnóstico y control del paciente, en virtud de las recomendaciones del National Cholesterol Education Program: Adult Treatment Panel III.

Material y métodos

Se plantearon 2 procedimientos para detectar errores de exactitud en la medida de triglicéridos, mediante los métodos con y sin blanco de glicerol. Por un lado, el análisis independiente que consistió en el análisis en paralelo de 116 muestras de suero obtenidas por muestreo aleatorio en el mes de diciembre de 2002 mediante 2 métodos, uno de ellos de fiabilidad garantizada. Por otro, se preparó una muestra patrón para valorar en ella la concentración equivalente de triglicéridos por ambos métodos. Procesamiento estadístico de resultados.

Resultados

Se detectó un error sistemático o determinado positivo en la medida de triglicéridos con blanco de glicerol: a) la valoración del análisis independiente arrojó una diferencia positiva constante de 0,110 mmol/l; b) el análisis de las muestras patrón por el método MCB estableció un intervalo de confianza de 8,5-8,7 mmol/l, que no incluyó la concentración teórica calculada para las muestras patrón, 8,4 mmol/l.

Conclusiones

El error sistemático encontrado, aunque no sorprende por su valor absoluto (= 5%), tiene importancia por presentar signo positivo respecto a la determinación de triglicéridos sin tener en cuenta el blanco de glicerol.

Abstract
Objectives

To identify systematic bias in triglyceride determinations and assess its importance in patient diagnosis and management, according to the recommendations of the National Cholesterol Education Program: Adult Treatment Panel III.

Material and methods

Two procedures to detect accuracy errors in triglyceride measurements with and without glycerol-blanking were carried out. On the one hand, independent analysis, which consisted of parallel analysis of 116 serum samples obtained by random sampling in December 2002 using two methods, one of which was of proven reliability, was performed. On the other hand a standard sample was prepared to test the equivalent triglyceride concentration using both methods. Statistical processing of the results was performed

Results

Systematic positive bias was detected when measuring glycerol-blanked triglycerides: a) independent analysis yielded a positive constant difference of 0.110 mmol/L; b) analysis of the standard sample performed by the MCB method established a confidence interval (8.5-8.7 mmol/L) that did not include the theoretical concentration calculated for the standard samples (8.4 mmol/L).

Conclusions

Although its absolute value was low (= 5%), the systematic bias detected was important because it showed a positive sign versus unblanked triglycerides.
