Background: Plasma osmolality is a physic and chemical property of interest in emergency medicine. This magnitude can be measured at the laboratory, but it is usually estimated with equations. A huge variety of formulas for calculating osmolality have been published, most of them relying on sodium, urea and glucose.

The purpose of this study is to compare CKD-EPI, MRD4-IDMS and BIS1 equations to analyse correlation and concordance in a population older than 85 years old.
Patients And Methods: We designed a retrospective cross-sectional study, which included data from 600 patients older than 85 years.
Objective: To define the performance characteristics of the LOCI method for cardiac troponin I on the Dimension EXL system.
Designs And Methods: Three different levels of commercial control (mean concentrations 0.426, 1.
Background: Many different equations have been previously described to estimate plasma osmolality. The aim of this study is to compare 14 of these equations, in order to determine which results agree best with measured osmolality.
Objectives: Our aim is to elucidate which is the most accurate equation for osmolality calculation among the fourteen that were previously described.
