Abstract

Reporting a measurement procedure and its analytical performance following method evaluation in a peer-reviewed journal is an important means for clinical laboratory practitioners to share their findings. It also represents an important source of evidence base to help others make informed decisions about their practice. At present, there are significant variations in the information reported in laboratory medicine journal publications describing the analytical performance of measurement procedures. These variations also challenge authors, readers, reviewers, and editors in deciding the quality of a submitted manuscript.

The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine Working Group on Method Evaluation Protocols (IFCC WG-MEP) developed a checklist and recommends its adoption to enable a consistent approach to reporting method evaluation and analytical performance characteristics of measurement procedures in laboratory medicine journals. It is envisioned that the LEAP checklist will improve the standardisation of journal publications describing method evaluation and analytical performance characteristics, improving the quality of the evidence base that is relied upon by practitioners.

用于临床测量程序的实验室评估和分析性能特征报告的 LEAP 核对表

在同行评审期刊上报告测量程序及其方法评估后的分析性能，是临床实验室从业人员分享其研究结果的重要途径。同时，它也是一个重要的证据基础来源，可以帮助其他人在实践中做出明智的决定。目前，在检验医学期刊上发表的描述测量程序分析性能的信息报告存在很大差异。国际临床化学与检验医学联合会方法评价协议工作组（IFCC WG-MEP）制定了一份核对表，并建议采用该核对表，以便在检验医学期刊中采用一致的方法报告方法评价和测量程序的分析性能特征。根据设想，LEAP 核对表将提高描述方法评估和分析性能特征的期刊出版物的标准化程度，从而提高从业人员所依赖的证据基础的质量。

期刊介绍： Practical Laboratory Medicine is a high-quality, peer-reviewed, international open-access journal publishing original research, new methods and critical evaluations, case reports and short papers in the fields of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine. The objective of the journal is to provide practical information of immediate relevance to workers in clinical laboratories. The primary scope of the journal covers clinical chemistry, hematology, molecular biology and genetics relevant to laboratory medicine, microbiology, immunology, therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology, laboratory management and informatics. We welcome papers which describe critical evaluations of biomarkers and their role in the diagnosis and treatment of clinically significant disease, validation of commercial and in-house IVD methods, method comparisons, interference reports, the development of new reagents and reference materials, reference range studies and regulatory compliance reports. Manuscripts describing the development of new methods applicable to laboratory medicine (including point-of-care testing) are particularly encouraged, even if preliminary or small scale.
