We aimed to investigate the accuracy and clinical performance of PETIA for FC. We assessed the accuracy of PETIA for FC measurements through concordance analysis, Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman analysis, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as the reference. To evaluate the clinical performance of PETIA, the FC levels of individuals with significant and non-significant bowel diseases were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to determine the appropriate cut-off value of FC detected by PETIA for discriminating subjects with significant and non-significant colorectal lesions. Of the 413 cases analyzed, 340 (82.3%) were concordant between PETIA and ELISA. No significant discordance was observed. There was a good agreement (y = -7.710+0.957x) between PETIA and ELISA for detecting FC. The FC level detected by PETIA in patients with significant bowel diseases (159.1 [31.3, 821.0] µg/g) was significantly higher than that of subjects with non-significant bowel diseases (10.3 [4.2, 38.5] µg/g) (p < 0.001). The AUC of FC for identifying significant bowel diseases detected by PETIA was 0.82 (p < 0.001). With a cut-off value of 77.6µg/g, the specificity and positive predictive value were 92.2% and 97.1%, respectively. The PETIA for FC measurement showed good clinical performance for detecting bowel diseases.","PeriodicalId":501634,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142265186","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}

The study aimed to investigate the correlation of CDC42 with clinical features, treatment response, event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) in adult Philadelphia chromosome negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph- ALL) patients. CDC42 expression in bone marrow mononuclear cells was detected in 78 adult Ph- ALL patients and 10 donors using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. CDC42 was increased in adult Ph- ALL patients compared with donors (p < .001). Besides, elevated CDC42 was linked with pro-B ALL or early-T ALL (p = .038) and white blood cell (WBC) elevation at diagnosis (p = .025). Fifty (64.1%) and 23 (29.5%) patients had complete remission (CR) at 1 month and minimal residual disease (MRD) after CR, respectively. CDC42 was inversely associated with CR at 1 month (p = .034), but not MRD after CR (p = .066). Concerning survival, patients with CDC42 ≥ 3.310 (cut by median value in patients) showed a shortened EFS (p = .006) and OS (p = .036) compared to those with CDC42 < 3.310. In detail, patients with CDC42 ≥ 3.310 and CDC42 < 3.310 had 5-year EFS rate of 29.9% and 45.4%, and 5-year OS rate of 39.4% and 63.6%, correspondingly. Further multivariate Cox's regression analyses revealed that CDC42 ≥ 3.310 was independently related to shorter EFS (hazard ratio = 2.933, p = .005). Elevated CDC42 is related with pro-B ALL or early-T ALL, WBC elevation at diagnosis, unfavorable treatment response and worse survival in adult Ph- ALL patients.","PeriodicalId":501634,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation","volume":"35 39","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140657684","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}

Despite their importance, a notable heterogeneity in management practices exists globally. This study investigates the current practices of managing critical results at Danish clinical biochemistry laboratories and identifies areas prone for improvement. A comprehensive online survey was distributed to all 21 Danish clinical biochemistry laboratories regarding their critical result management, including documentation practices, critical limit selection, and quality assurance measures. A total of 17 laboratories (81%) responded. The answers revealed a generally uniform approach to managing critical results, with all laboratories having 24-h reporting, local instructions and using the telephone as communication channel. However, variations were noted in documentation practices and critical limit selection. Notably, 23.5% of the laboratories reported that one out of every ten critical results was not reported, indicating a significant risk of delayed critical results. This is further complicated by the limited use of predefined timeframes for reporting and also, only few laboratories actively monitored response times. The findings emphasize the need for more standardized documentation and evaluation practices to align with international standards and to enhance patient safety. While the laboratories showed a commitment to standardized procedures, the study emphasizes the necessity of a National or Nordic guideline to supplement the ISO 15189:2022. This study is a step towards optimizing critical result management, not only in Danish clinical biochemistry laboratories but also across various laboratory specialties, thereby improving overall laboratory quality, efficiency, and patient safety.","PeriodicalId":501634,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140673728","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}
