Improving the preanalytical process: the focus on specimen quality [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2008 Trends in clinical laboratory practice place more demands on the quality of patient specimens. Advances in analytical performance (i.e., increased automation, reduced sample volume, increased assay sensitivity), as well as efficiency and cost reduction ...

Detection of Preanalytic Laboratory Testing Errors Using a Statistically Guided Protocol [PDF]
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2012 Preanalytic laboratory testing errors are often difficult to identify. We demonstrate how laboratories can integrate statistical models with clinical judgment to develop protocols for preanalytic error detection. Specifically, we developed a protocol to identify spuriously elevated glucose values resulting from improper "line draws" or related ...

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common type of tumour diagnosed in young men, and reliable non‐invasive biomarkers are crucial for clinical management. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) from the miR‐371–373 cluster have recently been identified as novel and more sensitive serum biomarkers than the conventional protein‐based ...

Pre-analytical errors and patient safety [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2012 Laboratory medicine, as a specialty that had prioritized quality control, has always been at the forefront of error reduction. In the last decades, a dramatic decrease of analytical errors has been experienced, while a relatively high frequency of errors

PREDICT: a checklist for preventing preanalytical diagnostic errors in clinical trials [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), 2019 Abstract Although the importance of guaranteeing a high level of preanalytical quality in routine diagnostic testing has already been largely acknowledged over the past decades, minor emphasis is currently being placed on the fact that accurate performance and standardization of many preanalytical activities are also necessary ...

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.Objectives Serotonin (5‐hydroxytryptophan), implicated in a number of canine diseases, has a very short half‐life in the serum. Urine concentration of its breakdown product 5‐hydroxyindole acetic acid after an 8 hour fast is a more reliable measure of circulating serotonin in humans.

The analysis of laboratory sample rejections and the effect of training on the rejection rate
Van Tıp Dergisi, 2019 INTRODUCTION: The management of preanalytical errors is an important role in contributing to the more effective and reliable study of patient outcomes. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the sample rejection of the preanalytical turn,
