Reagent Strips

Narrow pieces of material impregnated or covered with a substance used to produce a chemical reaction. The strips are used in detecting, measuring, producing, etc., other substances. (From Dorland, 28th ed)

1.	Proteinuria 12/01/2011 - "A total of 1,124 urine samples were collected, screened for microhaematuria and proteinuria using reagent strips (Combi 9) and results were compared to filtration technique, the gold standard method. " 01/01/2015 - "However, the difference in overall test accuracy between the urine reagent strips for microhaematuria and proteinuria was not found to be different when we compared separate populations (P = 0.25), or when direct comparisons within the same individuals were performed (paired studies; P = 0.21).When tests were evaluated against the higher quality reference standard (when multiple samples were analysed), sensitivity was marginally lower for microhaematuria (71% vs 75%) and for proteinuria (49% vs 61%). " 12/01/1994 - "This study deals with the effectivecess of chemical reagent strips for detection of haematuria and proteinuria in selecting S. " 06/01/2014 - "haematobium and tested for haematuria and proteinuria using chemical reagent strips. " 06/01/2014 - "Screening was carried out with reagent strips Albustix for proteinuria and, in case of trace amounts or a negative result, Microalbustix for microalbuminuria. "
2.	Peritonitis 07/01/2005 - "To determine the efficacy of reagent strip for bedside diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). " 01/01/2005 - "In the present study, we evaluated the usefulness of a new reagent strip, the PeriScreen Test Strip (Serim Research, Elkhart, IN, U.S.A.), for diagnosis of peritonitis in PD patients. " 06/01/2002 - "In this study we examined the usefulness of a new reagent strip, the PeriScreen Test Strip, in the diagnosis of peritonitis. " 01/01/2013 - "Diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in children by reagent strips." 03/07/2011 - "Diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis: an update on leucocyte esterase reagent strips."
3.	Bacteriuria 08/01/2002 - "The objective of the study was to assess the diagnostic performance of the reagent strip in screening for asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women using urine culture as a gold standard. " 05/01/2005 - "This study was undertaken to determine whether reagent strip testing can predict bacteriuria in urogynecology patients. " 12/01/2011 - "Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy: evaluation of reagent strips in comparison to microbiological culture." 12/01/2008 - "Reagent strip testing indicated a fair sensitivity for routine antenatal screening for asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women" 12/01/2008 - "To evaluate the diagnostic performance of reagent strip test as a screening test for asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) in pregnant women. "
4.	Infection 02/01/1990 - "The reagent strip specificity improved significantly with successive treatments indicating that haematuria was more sensitive than parasitology for light infections. " 12/01/2009 - "This study evaluated the performance of reagent strip testing for haematuria to diagnose Schistosoma haematobium infection among school-aged children in the context of a rapid mapping survey in Southern Sudan. " 07/01/2007 - "mansoni infection in urine using reagent strips would provide information on the prevalence of the disease, although further study is needed to improve its sensitivity and specificity." 09/01/1992 - "This study describes the sensitivity and specificity of a screening technique based on commercially available reagent strips in the diagnosis of urinary infection. " 09/01/2015 - "Use of leucocyte esterase reagent strips in the diagnosis or exclusion of prosthetic joint infection."
5.	Schistosomiasis haematobia (Schistosomiasis haematobium) 04/01/2014 - "This study assessed the validity of a morbidity questionnaire and urine reagent strips as a rapid tool for screening schoolchildren for urinary schistosomiasis as compared with the presence of eggs in urine as the gold-standard parasitological diagnosis. " 01/01/2000 - "We therefore undertook a study in an area endemic for Schistosoma haematobium in the United Republic of Tanzania to carry out the following: assess the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values--in women of childbearing age--of indirect indicators of urinary schistosomiasis, as measured by urine reagent strip readings; assess the predictive values of self-reported symptoms; and finally to estimate the morbidity attributable to S. " 12/01/1997 - " The present study evaluated the diagnostic potential of 3 indirect tests for urinary schistosomiasis in 1056 children and adults from Nigeria's Kainji Lake area: interview technique, visual examination for macrohematuria, and use of a chemical reagent strip. " 12/01/2009 - "The performance of haematuria reagent strips for the rapid mapping of urinary schistosomiasis: field experience from Southern Sudan." 08/01/2009 - "From a control perspective, Microalbustix reagent strips are therefore best applied in pre-screening protocols allowing selection, or rather confident exclusion, of schoolchildren with urinary schistosomiasis for more detailed investigations."
