Challenges in PT/INR harmonization across the total testing process
The International Normalized Ratio (INR), introduced by the World Health Organization in 1983, is central to vitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy monitoring. However, thromboplastin standardization alone does not ensure harmonized prothrom...

Viral triggers of Guillain-Barré syndrome
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a leading cause of acquired acute neuromuscular paralysis and is an immune-mediated disorder of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Accumulating evidence indi-cates that GBS is often preceded by infectio...

Beyond accuracy
Diagnostic tests are commonly evaluated using sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Although essential, these measures do not fully answer two practica...

Determination of method-specific reference intervals for vitamin B12 and its correlation with holotranscobalamin
Introduction: We aimed to compare total serum vitamin B12 measurements across four immunoassay platforms, establish method-specific reference intervals, evaluate the clinical impact of a uniform deficiency cut-off, and assess association...

Moving percentage of failed delta checks
Introduction: For measurands with a low index of individuality (II), delta check is crucial. If delta percentage change (DPC) values in different patients consecutively exceed the reference change value (RCV), it may indicate an analytic...
