Open DOI
Impact of dried blood spot diameter and transit time on analyte concentrations and cut-off classification in routine newborn screening
Objectives: To assess the effect of dried blood spot (DBS) diameter and specimen transit time on newborn screening (NBS) analyte concentrations and classification against cut-off values (CoV) using routine NBS data. Methods: DBS size and...

Biogenic amines as neuroendocrine tumor markers: limitations and future perspectives
Biogenic amines and their metabolites are central biochemical markers in the diagnosis and management of catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumors, including pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, and neuroblastoma. Despite decades of clin...

Enhanced detection of bladder cancer using machine learning analysis of routine urinary sediment data
Objectives: Bladder cancer (BC) has a high recurrence rate, requiring invasive procedures such as cystoscopy and histopathological examination. Existing non-invasive methods, including urine cytology, fluorescence in situ hybridization (...

Value-based hemostasis diagnostics: from laboratory information to clinical value
Background: In hemostasis diagnostics, increasing analytical performance and test availability do not automatically translate into improved clinical outcomes. We propose value-based hemostasis diagnostics (VBHD) as a structured framework...

An age-stratified semiquantitative urine ACR triage strategy for quantitative confirmation: a retrospective diagnostic accuracy study with temporal validation
Objectives: Early detection of albuminuria is important for identifying individuals at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Semiquantitative urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) strips may serve as an initial laboratory s...

Routine laboratory data are decoupled from symptom phenotype and prognosis in Long COVID: within-cohort variation is dominated by age
Objectives: Long COVID is defined by persistent multi-organ symptoms without an alternative diagnosis. This study evaluated whether routine laboratory data collected under real-world conditions differentiate symptom-defined subgroups wit...

A preanalytical quality indicator framework for automated extracellular vesicle separation
Objectives: Clinical translation of extracellular vesicle (EV)-based diagnostics is constrained by preanalytical variability in separation workflows. We developed a preanalytical quality indicator framework for automated EV separation, a...
