Development of Nation-wide Reference Intervals Using an Indirect Method and Harmonized Assays

CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the largest collection of RIs that were calculated by an indirect method representing clinical chemistry, endocrinology, coagulation, and hematology analytes that have been derived with very powerful "Ns" for each age bracket. This process provides more robust RIs and allows for the determination of pediatric and geriatric RIs that would otherwise be difficult to obtain using traditional direct RI determinations.PMID:34626611 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2021.10.001
