Prompt repeat testing after out-of-range INR values: a quality indicator for anticoagulation care.
BACKGROUND Improved control of oral anticoagulation reduces adverse events. A program of quality measurement is needed for oral anticoagulation. The interval until the next test after an out-of-range International Normalized Ratio (INR) value (the "follow-up interval") could serve as a process of care measure. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 104 451 patients cared for by 100 anticoagulation cl...
متن کاملNecessity of Routine Repeat Testing of Critical Values in Various Working Shifts
Background & Objective: Accurate and timely reporting of critical values is an important issue. There is some doubt whether repeat testing of critical values would offer any advantage over single testing or not. The aim of this study was evaluation of utility of routine repeat testing of critical values in our referral center and to compare probable variations in different work...
متن کاملDoes routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values improve their accuracy?
Background: Routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values is very common these days to increase their accuracy and to avoid reporting false or infeasible results. We figure that repeat testing of critical laboratory values has any benefits or not. Methods : We examined 2233 repeated critical laboratory values in 13 different hematology and chemistry tests including: hemoglobin, white...
متن کاملUtility of Repeat Testing of Critical Values
Context.—A common laboratory practice is to repeat critical values before reporting the test results to the clinical care provider. This may be an unnecessary step that delays the reporting of critical test results without adding value to the accuracy of the test result. Objectives.—To determine the proportions of repeated chemistry and hematology critical values that differ significantly from ...
متن کاملPrompt Intervention Improves Outcomes of Repeat DMEK
In the largest patient series to date, Gillies et al. analyzed the long-term outcomes of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who had received intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents. They found good long-term outcomes from baseline up to 6 years, with a drop in visual acuity (VA) after that point in eyes that were still being treated. For this observational stud...
