Abstrakt: Background:  The use of short and uniform centrifugation schemes contributes significantly to the successful automation of laboratory procedures. It is however unclear if this is applicable to the hemostasis laboratory.
Objectives:  This article assesses the accuracy of measurements obtained with a rapid, high-speed centrifugation scheme in a large set of hemostasis tests, covering the full spectrum of values obtained in clinical practice, and using meaningful statistical measures.
Methods:  Two citrated plasma samples were obtained from consecutive patients of a tertiary hospital with suspected abnormal hemostasis tests and processed with two centrifugation schemes in parallel: 1,500 ×  g for 10 minutes and 3,137 ×  g for 7 minutes. The following tests were conducted: prothrombin time ( n  = 125), international normalized ratio ( n  = 146), activated partial thromboplastin time ( n  = 119), thrombin time ( n  = 105), fibrinogen ( n  = 125), factor (F)II ( n  = 69), FV ( n  = 64), FVII ( n  = 64), FX ( n  = 67), FVIII ( n  = 55), FIX ( n  = 37), FXI ( n  = 35), and FXIII ( n  = 20), D-dimer ( n  = 34), antithrombin ( n  = 31), anti-Xa activity ( n  = 30), von Willebrand antigen ( n  = 25), and von Willebrand activity (VWF:GPIbM; n  = 27).
Results:  A wide range of results were obtained in all tests. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was at least 0.95 for all tests except FV, FIX, and FXI. The coverage probability π at a given deviation index κ of 15% was above 0.9 for all tests except FV, FVII, FX, FVIII, FIX, FXI, and VWF:GPIbM, suggesting a lack of agreement.
Conclusion:  Our results suggest that high-speed centrifugation is applicable to the majority of routine hemostasis parameters. The coverage probability was more sensitive than Spearman's rank correlation to detect disagreement among centrifugation schemes.
