Blood samples were analyzed by LFIA, RID, and a SNAP-based ELISA. Primary analyses used serum samples. Diagnostic performance was evaluated for serum, plasma, and whole blood at predefined RID thresholds (&amp;lt;400 and\u00a0\u2264\u00a0800\u00a0mg\/dL) using receiver operating characteristic analysis, sensitivity, specificity, and Bland\u2013Altman analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lateral flow immunoassays results were strongly correlated with RID (R2\u00a0=\u00a00.91) within the analytical range (100-1000\u00a0mg\/dL). The assay demonstrated good linearity, precision, and accuracy. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed high point estimates for diagnostic performance across sample matrices, with AUCs ranging from 0.988 to 1.000, although estimates were imprecise because of the limited number of FTPI-positive foals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and clinical importance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lateral flow immunoassays demonstrated good agreement with RID for FTPI classification and could be suitable as a point-of-care screening tool, but is not interchangeable with RID for quantitative measurement.
