INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency is high in at-risk populations with sometimes irreversible consequences. Beside total B12 (TVB12), active B12 (AVB12) is a promising first-line marker. Only Abbott AVB12 assays were largely evaluated and generally demonstrated benefit in clinical practice. More recently developed Roche AVB12 still requires some investigations.
OBJECTIVES: Our study aimed to evaluate the Roche Elecsys® AVB12 immunoassay performance versus Roche Elecsys® TVB12 competition assay.
DESIGN: and Methods: We included 175 patients at Rouen University Hospital who had a TVB12 value <300 pmol/L. We evaluated performance of AVB12 by comparing the results with TVB12 and MMA values in case of disagreement.
RESULTS: Positive correlation was found between the AVB12 and TVB12. We found a disagreement between TVB12 and AVB12 in 18.8% of cases. Among 33 cases of disagreement, 76% had normal AVB12 but low TVB12, whereas 24% had low AVB12 and normal TVB12. Thirty-one MMA determinations were performed: 71% showed agreement between MMA and AVB12, versus 29% between MMA and TVB12. TVB12 reported a sensitivity (Se) at 66.7%, specificity (Sp) at 20%, positive predictive value (PPV) at 16.7% and negative predictive value (NPV) at 71.4% for the prediction of MMA elevation. We determined an optimized cut-off value of 45.5 pmol/L for AVB12, which reported a Se 66.7%, Sp 60%, PPV 30.7%, and NPV 88.9%.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results provide preliminary evidence that Roche AVB12 may offer better discrimination than Roche TVB12 in the diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency. Further more detailed evaluation is warranted.
