An approach for the calculation of preliminary measurement uncertainty values in clincial routine laboratories using verification data
Background
The measurement uncertainty is an essential measure of quality in clinical routine laboratories. Its estimation is mandatory for the ISO 15189 accreditation. However, there is no in consensus on how to establish the MU. The study aimed to evaluate a procedure for calculating a preliminary MU based on already existing verification data and results from external quality assessment (EQA) schemes.
Methods
Expanded measurement uncertainty (U) was calculated for 29 measurands using two different data sets applying the Nordtest protocol. One U was determined with internal quality control (IQC) data from one year (60 measurements/level; two levels) and six EQA-samples (MUIQC-scheme), the second U was performed with verification data according to the CLSI EP15-A3 guideline (25 measurements/level, 5x5-scheme; two levels) and four EQA samples (MUVerification-scheme). The difference between MUIQC and MUVerification (ΔU) was calculated. MUIQC and MUVerification were compared to published acceptance criteria (Rili-BAEK and Westgard).
Results
For most measurands, U was higher for MUIQC (range 2.2 %–20.9 %) compared with MUVerification (range 2.2 %–13.0 %). The ΔU ranged between −1.8 %–13.8 %. Five measurands showed a ΔU of > 5 %, while seven measurands showed a higher U for MUVerification (ΔU-range −1.8 %–−0.8 %). For all measurands, the U for MUIQC and MUVerification were within the Rili-BAEK and Westgard acceptance criteria.
Conclusion
The use of verification data may serve as a suitable approach for the estimation of preliminary MU values in clinical routine laboratories.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
