A Point‐of‐Care Raman Spectroscopy–Based Device for the Diagnosis of Gout and Pseudogout: Comparison With the Clinical Standard Microscopy

Abstract

Kappa coefficients indicated that there was excellent agreement between POCRS and CPLM for the diagnosis of gout, with good agreement for the diagnosis of pseudogout. The POCRS device holds the potential to standardize and expedite the time to clinical diagnosis of gout and pseudogout, especially in settings where certified operators trained for CPLM analysis are not available.
