Figure 1. Thirty patients judged to be HIT-positive were tested in the PEA and SRA. The PEA was positive in 27 and the SRA in 16. Fig 1B. The PEA was positive in 8 and the SRA in 3 among 61 HIT-negative patients. The two assays had similar specificity (87% [PEA] vs. 95% [SRA]; p=ns), however, the PEA had significantly higher diagnostic sensitivity than the SRA (90% [PEA] vs. 53% [SRA]; p<0.01). Solid lines connect SRA and PEA results of each sample.
