The biochemistry results were reviewed to determine concordance between NBCL and lab PTH values and diagnostic test parameters of the NBCL CONNECT assay. \u2018In-theatre\u2019 times were then compared with a historical cohort (group 2) where the lab-based IOPTH assay alone was used.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 141 paired samples in group I, correlation between NBCL and the lab assay was high (rho=0.82; p&amp;lt;0.001). PTH levels using the NBCL assay dropped satisfactorily (&amp;gt;50% of the basal or 0 min sample; whichever was lower \u2013 i.e. positive test) in 23 patients; giving a positive predictive value of 100%. Of the 9 patients that did not demonstrate a drop, two were true negative (negative predictive value of 22%) leading to cure after excision of another gland. Group 1 (150 mins) had a significantly shorter \u2018in-theatre\u2019 time compared to group 2 (167 mins) (p=0.007); despite much higher use of near infra-red autofluorescence (NIRAF) (72% vs 11.6% in group I and 2 respectively).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The NBCL CONNECT POC IOPTH assay gives comparable results to lab based PTH assays and can be performed without need for a centrifuge or qualified technicians.
