Grading test method versus trawl test in detection of biochemical indicators of blood lipid

  Objective  To compare the value of trawl test and grading test in detection of biochemical indicators of blood lipid.

  Methods  A total of 42 patients were conducted with trawl test and grading test respectively for detection of biochemical indicators of blood lipid. The differences of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoprotein A (ApoA) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) levels were compared between the two methods, and the positive detection rate and missed detection rate for each index were compared as well.

  Results  The levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, ApoA and ApoB by grading test were significantly higher, and the level of LDL-C was significantly lower than that by trawl test (P < 0.05). The positive detection rates of TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, ApoA and ApoB by grading test were significantly higher than those by trawl test (P < 0.05). The missed detection rate by grading test was significantly lower than that by trawl test (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  In the biochemical test of blood lipid, the application of grading test can obviously improve the accuracy of test results and reduce the missed detection rate.
