Clinical Validation of a Highly Sensitive GC-MS Platform for Routine Urine Drug Screening and Real-Time Reporting of up to 212 Drugs
Figure 2
Percentage increase in the number of drugs reported for each patient for the new platform (>0) over the number of drugs reported by the reference platform (<0). The number of drugs reported per patient for the 99 retrospective patient samples was compared with the number of drugs reported for these patients by clinical testing using the reference platform. The % excess (or deficit) in the number of drugs reported by the new platform compared to the reference platform is plotted for each patient. For 2 patients, the reference platform reported one drug each (Clonidine and Clozapine) in excess of the number of drugs reported by the new platform for those patients. For 10 patients, both platforms reported equal number of drugs per patient while for all other patients () the new platform reported more drugs per patient.
