Abstract
Background: To compare the ESR values by Ves- matic 20/20 plus new with the conventional Westergren method, aiming to validate the automated methods. Methods: A cross – sectional study was conducted in Government Medical College, Patiala. A total of 100 blood samples were subjected to ESR estimation by manual Westergren method and by automated (Ves – Matic) method. Results were analysed, compared and their correlation was calculated using Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: There is a strong positive correlation between Westergren method and Ves- matic 20/20 plus new with correlation coefficient 0.99. Conclusion: Ves-matic method (automated) shows good correlationwith manual Westergren method and is reliable and suitable for use in high work load clinical laboratory.
