Objectives:

Investigate agreement between lipid pathology results from point-of-care testing (PoCT) devices and laboratories.

Design and methods:

Agreement was assessed using the Bland–Altman method.

Results:

Mean difference (limits of agreement) were: − 0.28 mmol/L (− 1.04, 0.48) for total cholesterol, − 0.09 mmol/L, (− 0.55, 0.36) for HDL-C. Median difference (nonparametric limits of agreement) were 0.07 mmol/L, (− 0.40, 3.04) for triglycerides.

Conclusions:

The clinical acceptability of the variation between lipid PoCT and laboratory test results is debatable but our work provides baseline data for further research.
