Indirect reference intervals estimated from hospitalized population for thyrotropin and free thyroxine.
AIM To establish indirect reference intervals from patient results obtained during routine laboratory work as an alternative to laborious and expensive producing of their own reference range values according to international instructions. METHODS All results for thyrotropin (TSH) and free thyroxine (T4) that were stored in our laboratory information system between 2004 and 2008 were included ...

متن کاملDetermination of reference intervals for serum magnesium.
Using a discrete analyzer and a dye-binding method, we measured magnesium in 800 patients' samples received for routine analysis. By excluding data from samples for which the calcium and (or) alkaline phosphatase values were outside defined reference limits, we established a reference interval for magnesium. Because the data showed a gaussian distribution, we could use parametric analysis to es...
متن کاملSimplified estimation of age-specific reference intervals for skewed data.
Age-specific reference intervals are commonly used in medical screening and clinical practice, where interest lies in the detection of extreme values. Many different statistical approaches have been published on this topic. The advantages of a parametric method are that they necessarily produce smooth centile curves, the entire density is estimated and an explicit formula is available for the c...
متن کاملEstimation of reference intervals for total protein in cerebrospinal fluid.
Protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was measured by a modified biuret procedure and in two automated instruments, the Du Pont aca and the Kodak Ektachem. The latter's dry-slide reagent was also evaluated for precision, linearity, and effect of potential interferents. In vitro, ampicillin and vancomycin increase the apparent value for CSF protein as measured with the Ektachem slides. We exclude...
