- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pearson coefficient was used to determine the correlation between the different measurements of glucose levels in relation to the arterial laboratory one. This correlation analysis between methods was based on standards established by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) that sets out that two different methods for glucose level evaluation are equivalent if Pearsons coefficient is greater than 0.9751.[All samples were drawn at the same time for accuracy determination. The correlation between different measurements was determined after the completion of the data collection phase, which is 3 months.]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assessment of conformity in clinical management using results provided by different methods. This was performed based on the institution protocol (Anesthesiology Department of Federal University of Sao Paulo), using the latest capillary glucose level for comparison.[All samples were drawn at the same time for accuracy determination. The assessment of conformity in clinical managemente using those results was performed after the completion of the data collection phase, which is 3 months.]
