Popis: In routine hematological instruments, blood cells are counted and sized by monitoring the impedance signals induced during their passage through a Coulter orifice. However, only signals associated with centered paths in the aperture are considered for analysis, while the rejected measurements, caused by near-wall trajectories, can provide additional information on red blood cells (RBC), as recent publications suggest. To assess usefulness of two new parameters in describing alterations in RBC properties, we performed a pilot study to compare blood samples from patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), frequent pathological condition associated with impairment in RBC deformability, versus controls. A total of 345 blood samples were analyzed: 225 in the DM group and 120 in the control group. A diagram of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the two new parameters derived from the analysis of impedancemetry pulses, was used to compare distribution of RBC subpopulations between groups. To discriminate RBC from DM and control individuals, based on our multiparametric analysis, we built a score from variables derived from [Formula: see text] matrix which showed good performances: area under the receiving operating characteristic curve 0.948 (0.920-0.970), p
