Population-Based Pediatric Reference Intervals in General Clinical Chemistry: A Swedish Survey
نویسنده
چکیده
Very few high quality studies on pediatric reference intervals for general clinical chemistry and hematology analytes have been performed. Three recent prospective community-based projects utilising blood samples from healthy children in Sweden, Denmark and Canada have substantially improved the situation. The Swedish survey included 701 healthy children. Reference intervals for general clinical chemistry and hematology were defined.

BACKGROUND Biological covariates such as age and sex can markedly influence biochemical marker reference values, but no comprehensive study has examined such changes across pediatric, adult, and geriatric ages. The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) collected comprehensive nationwide health information and blood samples from children and adults in the household population and, in collaborat...

BACKGROUND In a collaboration between the Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Pediatric Reference Intervals (CALIPER) and the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), we determined reference value distributions using an a priori approach and created a comprehensive database of age- and sex-stratified reference intervals for clinically relevant hematologic parameters in a large household population...
