Análisis comparativo entre el Quantum Magnetic Resonance Health Body Analyzer y exámenes de laboratorio en pacientes con hiperlipidemia en el Hospital Naval de Guayaquil en el periodo enero a julio 2023.

Abstract

Introduction: Currently, tools and methods are offered that aim to non-invasively identify the patient's health status (including cholesterol and triglyceride levels). One of these is the quantum magnetic resonance health body analyzer (QMR-HBA), which according to its manufacturers performs an instantaneous measurement of the general state of health. The present investigation compares the results obtained by the QMRHBA with laboratory tests in patients with hyperlipidemia. Methodology: crosssectional analytical study with the participation of 100 people with an initial diagnosis of hyperlipidemia who attended the Guayaquil naval hospital for cholesterol and triglyceride control and underwent QMR-HBA on the same day, qualitative and quantitative variables were expressed in percentages. Spearman's Rho was applied to correlate and ROC curves for cut-off points. Results: The p value obtained for cholesterol was 0.314 and for triglycerides 0.572, establishing that there is no correlation of QMR-HBA levels with laboratory reagents. The analysis of the ROC curves obtained that the best cut-off points of the QMR-HBA to differentiate between normal and altered cholesterol levels exhibits a sensitivity and specificity of 63.9% and 81.2% respectively and to discriminate between altered and normal values. of triglycerides, a threshold of 2.102 was presented, representing a sensitivity of 71.7% and a specificity of 59.3%. Conclusion: this research found no correlation between cholesterol and triglyceride levels obtained by laboratory tests and the QMR-HBA.
