Evaluation of 18 quality indicators from the external quality assurance preanalytical programme of the Spanish Society of Laboratory Medicine (SEQCML)

Advances in Laboratory Medicine, 2022
Most errors in laboratory medicine occur in the pre- and post-analytical phases of the total testing process (TTP). In 2014, the Spanish Society of Laboratory Medicine (SEQCML) started the current Preanalytical Phase EQA Programme, with the objective of ...

Quality control in the collection of diagnostic blood specimens: illuminating a dark phase of preanalytical errors [PDF]

, 2009
INTRODUÇÃO: A fase pré-analítica é a responsável por mais de dois terços de todos os erros atribuídos ao laboratório e contempla poucos procedimentos rotineiros para a detecção de não conformidades.

The effect of education and 4-year experience in the evaluation of preanalytical process in a clinical chemistry laboratory

Medicine Science, 2018
Preanalytical errors have an important ratios in all laboratory processes. To reduce laboratory errors, the IFCC working group on Laboratory Errors and Patient safety (WG-LEPS) developed laboratory quality indicators (QIs) for the preanalytical process ...

Comparative accuracy and precision of two commercial laboratory analyzers for the quantification of ammonia in cerebrospinal fluid [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Hyperammonemia is one of the contributing factors of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Although blood ammonia concentrations are frequently measured in patients suspected of HE, systemic levels do not necessarily reflect the amount of ammonia in ...

Evaluation of pre-analytical factors affecting plasma DNA analysis. [PDF]

, 2018
Pre-analytical factors can significantly affect circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis. However, there are few robust methods to rapidly assess sample quality and the impact of pre-analytical processing. To address this gap and to evaluate effects of

An underestimated preanalytical error source: centrifuge temperature

Turkish Journal of Biochemistry, 2013
Objectives: The study demonstrates a gel problem sourced from the internal heat of centrifuges without temperature control. It was planned to investigate the internal temperatures of temperature controlled centrifuges and the centrifuges without temperature control and the effect of centrifuge temperature on enzymes and thyroid panel.

Order of blood draw:Opinion Paper by the European Federation for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) Working Group for the Preanalytical Phase (WG-PRE) [PDF]

, 2016
It has been well reported over recent years that most errors within the total testing process occur in the pre-analytical phase (46%-68.2%), an area that is usually outside of the direct control of the laboratory and which includes sample collection ...

Sources of preanalytical errors and the role of training in error prevention

Dicle Medical Journal / Dicle Tip Dergisi, 2012
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, biyokimya ve mikrobiyoloji laboratuarlarına gönderilen örneklerde preanalitik hataların analizi ve eğitimin hata önlemedeki rolü incelenmiştir. Gereç ve yöntem: Sekiz aylık dönem boyunca merkez laboratuarına kabul edilen tüm örnekler retrospektif olarak incelendi. Reddedilen örneklerin dağılımı, preanalitik hata kategorileri (yanlış
