Optimizing the Elecsys HCV assay threshold to improve hepatitis C diagnosis algorithm and reduce healthcare costs by minimizing supplementary tests.

Purpose: Viral hepatitis remains a leading cause of infectious mortality worldwide. This study aimed to improve the serological screening process by reducing unnecessary testing and healthcare costs by optimizing the assay threshold.

Methods: Three methods (Elecsys Anti-HCV II, Alinity s Anti-HCV and Ortho HCV 3.

Global Hemostasis Potential in COVID-19 Positive Patients Performed on St-Genesia Show Hypercoagulable State.

Background: At the dawn of the pandemic, severe forms of COVID-19 were often complicated by thromboembolisms. However, routine laboratory tests cannot be used to predict thromboembolic events. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential value of the thrombin generation test (TGT) in predicting hypercoagulability and thrombotic risk in the aforementioned set of patients.
