Interpreting EQA-Understanding Why Commutability of Materials Matters. [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2022
There is a risk to patients of misdiagnosis or incorrect treatment because of bias between results reported from different laboratories/methods for the same measurand. This risk can be identified and hopefully reduced by using External Quality Assurance/Proficiency Testing (EQA/PT) programs when commutable samples are used to identify these differences

Quality Assessment of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Assays of Therapeutic Antibodies Across Europe: An Update. [PDF]

Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol
ABSTRACT Immune mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are common, chronic, inflammatory diseases. There has been an expansion of monoclonal antibodies to treat the disease. However, the response is not universal; reasons for non‐response may include suboptimal drug concentrations for which therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may lead to improved ...
