Objectives: One of the most powerful tools that laboratory medicine uses to help the clinical decision-making process is the reference interval (RI). By establishing their own RIs in accordance with the analytical method they apply, the laboratories contribute to the quality assurance in the laboratory testing process.
Design And Methods: This study estimates the RIs of the platelet parameters in neonates for Nihon Celltac F hematology automatic analyzer.
Objective: To quantify performance in the preanalytical phase in a stat laboratory using quality indicators, and compare our results with those in the literature to improve laboratory services.
Methods: We counted the test request forms, samples, and the types of preanalytical errors that occured in a stat laboratory between January 1 and December 31, 2011. We then compared the quality-indicator scores with the quality specifications mentioned in the literature.
Objectives: This study aims to gain an estimation of the reference intervals for erythrocyte parameters of neonates in the venous blood, in their first day of life, aiming to achieve quality assurance in post-analytical phase according to the requirement of the ISO standard 15189:2007: Medical laboratories-particular requirements for quality and competence.
Design And Methods: The study was performed on a group of 845 subjects selected from the laboratory database. The blood test was performed with the Nihon Celltac F automatic hematology analyzer.
