Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a normative evaluation in clinical analysis laboratories, based on RDC no. 302, of October 13, 2005. Material and method: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. Twelve clinical laboratories participated in the study. The data were obtained through a structured questionnaire and answered by the technical leaders of the participating laboratories, in the municipality of Macapa, Amapa, Brazil. Results: The average nonconformity found among the participants was 9.64%, which allowed an overall evaluation among them as satisfactory, in relation to the minimum requirements demanded by the standardization recommended by Anvisa. When the participants were analyzed individually, there was a variation from 4.82% to 21.69% of the nonconformities index. Other studies agree with the results, however there is disagreement in a research carried out in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, possibly due to the fact that the laboratories present in this study do not have a quality management system in their processes. Conclusion: Laboratories 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, and 12 were rated as satisfactory. Laboratories 1, 5, 7, 8 and 10 were rated as partially satisfactory. No laboratories were rated as unsatisfactory.","PeriodicalId":35397,"journal":{"name":"Jornal Brasileiro de Patologia e Medicina Laboratorial","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47376111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Oral Pathology Laboratory records from the ISNF/UFF were reviewed and all cases of OSCC were primarily selected. Cases from ISNF/UFF and HMRS were selected and had their demographic data collected from the medical records. Clinical characteristics were evaluated using the images of the lesions taken on the biopsy day and the laboratory files. The histological slides were later reviewed. Results: Eighty cases of OSCC were identified. Most patients were male (56.7%), with a mean age of 60 years, smoker (62.71%) and/or alcoholic (44.55%). The most affected anatomic site was the tongue (39.49%), presenting mainly as an ulcer (39.49%). Microscopically, the well-differentiated lesions were more common (35.44%), and the mean counting of mitoses was 5.5/10 high-power field. Conclusion: The profile of OSCC patients in Nova Friburgo partly reflects the world literature, with emphasis on the following differences: low average number of mitoses found in the histopathological analysis and prevalence of well-differentiated lesions. Such differences may be a result of the characteristic variations of the local population, reinforcing the importance of conducting epidemiological studies that demonstrate OSCC peculiarities in different regions.","PeriodicalId":35397,"journal":{"name":"Jornal Brasileiro de Patologia e Medicina Laboratorial","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71115820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
