A differentiated approach to assess the diagnostic usefulness of a rapid particle gel immunoassay for the detection of antibodies against heparin-platelet factor 4 in cardiac surgery patients

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods have shown to be of a low specificity for confirming heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in cardiac surgery patients. In other patient collectives, a new antigen test [ID-HPF4 Particle Gel Immuno Assay (PaGIA); Diamed, Cressier sur Morat, Switzerl...
