Our results showed that the accuracy of Hb POCT measurements was similar and not inferior to Ht measurements for detecting plasma leakage in patients with DHF. We recommend that further evaluations are conducted to determine the optimal cutoff point given the low sensitivity associated with using ≥20% Hb-POCT or Ht increases to determine hemoconcentration.
