Systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis on glucose- 6 – phosphate dehydrogenase activities measured by a semi-quantitative handheld biosensor
The manufacturer's recommended cutoff is conservative but more reliable at categorising G6PD deficient individuals than those based on calculations of 30% activity using the AMM. The observed decrease in G6PD activity in children between 1 and 5 years of age warrants further investigation.
