New solutions to old problems: A practical approach to identify samples with intravenous fluid contamination in clinical laboratories

CONCLUSIONS: The proposed algorithm identified true contamination with low false flagging rates in tertiary care urban hospital laboratories. Retrospective and prospective analysis suggest the algorithm is suitable for implementation in clinical laboratories to identify samples with possible IV fluid contamination for further investigation.PMID:38615787 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2024.110763
