Items for "latent abnormal values exclusion method"
Background: A reference interval (RI) is usually derived from a data set obtained cross-sectionally without consideration of the long-term analytical coefficient of variation (CV) (CVA) or within-individual CV (CVI).
Methods: A total of 135 healthy volunteers, 22–59 years of age, working in eight clinical laboratories in Japan participated in a study to determine RIs for 26 commonly measured biochemical analytes...

Background: To derive reference intervals (RIs) for cystatin C (CysC), we examined sources of variation in its serum concentration by multiple regression analysis.
Methods: A total of 596 healthy subjects (30–75 years of age) who underwent an annual health check were chosen as candidate reference individuals who did not have any chronic illness requiring medication...
