| Abstract |
The new microcapillary and fluorescence-based EC IVD-qualified Muse™ Auto CD4/CD4% single-platform assay (EMD Millipore Corporation, Merck Life Sciences, KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) for CD4 T cell numeration in absolute number and in percentage was evaluated using Central African patients' samples compared against the reference EC IVD-qualified BD FACSCount (Becton-Dickinson, USA) flow cytometer. EDTA-blood samples from 124 adults, 10 adolescents, 13 children and 3 infants were tested in parallel at 2 reference laboratories in Bangui. The Muse™ technique was highly reproducible, with low intra- and inter-run variabilities less than 15%. CD4 T cell counts of Muse™ and BD FACSCount in absolute number and percentage were highly correlated (r(2) = 0.99 and 0.98, respectively). The mean absolute bias between Muse™ and BD FACSCount cells in absolute number and percentage were -5.91 cells/µl (95% CI -20.90 to 9.08) with limits of agreement from -77.50 to 202.40 cells/µl, and +1.69 %CD4 (95% CI ±1.29 to +2.09), respectively. The percentages of outliers outside the limits of agreement were nearly similar in absolute number (8%) and percentage (10%). CD4 T cell counting by Muse™ allowed identifying the majority of individuals with CD4 T cell <200, <350 or <750 cells/µl corresponding to the relevant thresholds of therapeutic care, with sensitivities of 95.5-100% and specificities of 83.9-100%. The Muse™ Auto CD4/CD4% Assay analyzer is a reliable alternative flow cytometer for CD4 T lymphocyte enumeration to be used in routine immunological monitoring according to World Health Organization recommendations in HIV-infected adults as well as children living in resource-constrained settings. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 November 2016.
All research outputs
#15,395,259
of 22,903,988 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Translational Medicine
#2,241
of 4,010 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#249,996
of 415,669 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Translational Medicine
#43
of 62 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,903,988 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,010 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.5. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 415,669 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 62 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
