Does 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 کاملCardiology patient page. Warfarin management: international normalized ratio self-testing and warfarin self-dosing.
Until recently, most patients taking warfarin (brand name Coumadin) had to visit a laboratory and/or clinic every few weeks for an international normalized ratio (INR) blood test and adjustment of their warfarin dose. It is now possible for a patient to measure his/her INR (self-testing) with a finger-stick drop of blood with use of a small, portable, battery-powered device. Some self-testing p...
متن کاملImproved anticoagulant control in patients using home international normalized ratio testing and decision support provided through the Internet.
AIM To compare anticoagulant control using self-testing and decision support provided via the internet with standard laboratory testing. METHODS A prospective comparative study of 41 patients on long-term warfarin. All patients were monitored using a laboratory-based service for at least 12 months prior to changing to self-testing using a portable testing device and online decision support. T...
متن کاملOn the Asymptotic of Likelihood Ratios for Self-normalized Large Deviations
Motivated by multiple statistical hypothesis testing, we obtain the limit of likelihood ratio of large deviations for self-normalized random variables, specifically, the ratio of P ( √ n(X̄ + d/n) ≥ xnV ) to P ( √ nX̄ ≥ xnV ), as n → ∞, where X̄ and V are the sample mean and standard deviation of iid X1, . . . , Xn, respectively, d > 0 is a constant and xn → ∞. We show that the limit can have a si...
متن کاملInternational normalized ratio self-testing and self-management: improving patient outcomes
Long term oral anti-coagulation with vitamin K antagonists is a risk factor of hemorrhagic or thromebomlic complications. Periodic laboratory testing of international normalized ratio (INR) and a subsequent dose adjustment are therefore mandatory. The use of home testing devices to measure INR has been suggested as a potential way to improve the comfort and compliance of the patients and their ...
