Point-of-care Testing (POCT) Via Finger-prick Samples Is Gaining Prominence For Its Convenience, Rapid Results, And Minimal Blood Requirement. This Study Aims To Evaluate The Accuracy And Consistency Of POCT In Measuring Blood Glucose, Cholesterol, And HbA1c Levels Using Finger-prick Methods. Participants Aged ≥18 Years Were Recruited During Health Screenings At The National Institutes Of Health, Malaysia, Between June And August 2021. Capillary And Venous Blood Samples Were Simultaneously Collected By Trained Healthcare Professionals. Three Analyzers Were Used For Glucose Measurement, Two For Cholesterol, And Three For HbA1c. POCT Results Were Compared With Laboratory Analyses Conducted In External Facilities. Laboratory Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) Tests Employed Hexokinase Methods, While HPLC Was Used For HbA1c Analysis. The Dataset Contains 30 Variables/columns And 608 Rows/ Observations. (Refer Data Dictionary)
