Commutability is where the measurement response for a reference material (RM) is the same as for an individual patient sample with the same concentration of analyte measured using two or more measurement systems. Assessment of commutability is essential when the RM is used in a calibration hierarchy or to ensure that clinical measurements are comparable across different measurement procedures and at different times. The commutability of three new Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) for determining serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], defined as the sum of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], was assessed through an interlaboratory study.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, Las Vegas, NV, USA.
Background: The Women's Alzheimer's Movement Prevention Center (WAMPC) at Cleveland Clinic evaluates women's risk factors for developing Alzheimer's disease and provides personalized recommendations for reducing risk. Previous research has established that up to 40% of Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases might be prevented when modifiable risk factors are addressed. To better understand individual risk profiles, a wealth of information is collected, including self-reported health conditions (both personal and familial), lifestyle factors (e.
