Sixty per cent were in the target international normalized ratio range. Tests were done for statistical and clinical correlation. The international normalized ratio range using the point-of-care device was 0.8\u20137.5 (reference lab 0.8\u201310), mean international normalized ratio was 2.22\u2009\u00b1\u20091.6 (point-of-care device) compared to 2.46\u2009\u00b1\u20091.3 (reference lab). The mean absolute difference was 0.79\u2009\u00b1\u20090.92 and the mean relative difference was 8.1%\u2009\u00b1\u20091.03. Data was analysed using a Bland\u2013Altman plot yielding a mean of 0.738 (standard deviation 0.92). Concordance between the tests was 75% with r2\u2009=\u20090.52 on linear regression. Using an error grid plot, excellent clinical correlation was seen in 63.8%. In 5.4% major corrective action was needed but potentially missed if relying on the point-of-care device.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The accuracy and precision of this point-of-care device is moderate.
