Standardizing global gene expression analysis between laboratories and across platforms
To facilitate collaborative research efforts between multiinvestigator teams using DNA microarrays, we identified sources of error and data variability between laboratories and across microarray platforms, and methods to accommodate this variability. RNA expression data were generated in seven laboratories, which compared two standard RNA samples using 12 microarray platforms. At least two stan...
متن کاملReasons for referral for pulmonary function testing: an audit of 4 adult lung function laboratories.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary function testing (PFT) is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of most respiratory conditions, and appropriate interpretation of test results is a fundamental component of the final report. As part of developing a structured approach to interpretation of PFT results, we wished to characterize primary reasons for referral for testing in a range of PFT laboratori...

متن کاملOutcomes for COPD pharmacological trials: From lung function to biomarkers.
The American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society jointly created a Task Force on "Outcomes for COPD pharmacological trials: from lung function to biomarkers" to inform the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease research community about the possible use and limitations of current outcomes and markers when evaluating the impact of a pharmacological therapy. Based on their review of the p...
متن کاملAdherence to acceptability and repeatability criteria for spirometry in complex lung function laboratories.
BACKGROUND Few published data exist for adherence rates to spirometry acceptability and repeatability criteria in clinical respiratory laboratories. This study quantified adherence levels in this setting and observed changes in adherence levels as a result of feedback and ongoing training. METHODS Two tertiary hospital-based, lung function laboratories (L1 and L2) participated. Approximately ...
