RESUMO

ObjectiveTo evaluate the proficiency and consistency of domestic and foreign testing institutions in the field of veterinary drug residue detection in food, and to promote international cooperation and mutual recognition of testing results among these institutions. MethodsA robust statistical analysis was conducted on the testing results of 20 laboratories in eight countries and regions across North America, Europe, and Asia. The laboratories’ testing capabilities were evaluated using Z-score comparison. ResultsAmong the 20 participating laboratories, 18 achieved satisfactory results, resulting in a satisfaction rate of 90%, while 2 laboratories (10%) failed to meet the requirements. The satisfaction rate of domestic laboratories (100%) was higher than that of foreign laboratories (81.8%). ConclusionDomestic laboratories perform better than overseas laboratories in determining veterinary drug residues in food. To enhance testing capabilities, these overseas laboratories with unsatisfactory evaluation results should strengthen their daily quality control and ensure traceability of original records.

RESUMO

Aim To design and implement the bacteri¬al endotoxin test proficiency testing plan to evaluate the laboratory's ability and level to determine bacterial en¬dotoxin. Methods According to the Chinese Pharma-copoeia (2015 edition, Vol IV) -1143 Bacterial Endo¬toxin Test-Photometric Method ( Method 2 ) , each la¬boratory used any of these methods to determine the endotoxin content of the sample to be tested. The stati- stical software JMP13 was used for statistical analysis of the feedback results of the participating laboratories. The consensus value of the participants, namely the ro¬bust average value of the effective test results of all the participating laboratories, was used as the assigned value X of the endotoxin content of the samples to be tested in the proficiency testing of the round. The re¬sults of participating laboratories were evaluated ac¬cording to the following criteria: (1) the laboratory test results were within 50% to 200% of the assigned value of the sample, which was evaluated satisfactory; ( 2 ) the laboratory test results were not within the 50 -200% range of the assigned value of the sample, which was evaluated dissatisfactory. Results A total of laboratories participated in this capacity verification plan, with 45 in the laboratory with satisfactory re¬sults, with a satisfaction of 91. 8% ; There were 4 la¬boratories that received "dissatisfaction" results, all of which were not within the range of 50% -200% of the assigned value of samples, and the dissatisfaction of 8. 2% . Conclusions Most of the participating labora¬tories can accurately detect the bacterial endotoxin con¬tent in the sample to be tested, indicating that the level of bacterial endotoxin detection in our country is gener¬ally good at present.

RESUMO

Abstract The National Quality Control Program in Mycology (PNCCM) of Argentina was establishedin 1996 to improve the quality of the mycological diagnosis, to help establish and to setup standardized procedures and continuous training of laboratory staff. The aim of this studywas to assess the effectiveness of the PNCCM in the 1996---2018 period. Data from the NationalMycology Laboratory Network (NMLN) and PNCCM database was used to estimate the increasein the number of controlled laboratories and jurisdictions, the percentage of participation, theimprovement in the quality of results and the adherence to the program. Satisfaction surveyswere performed to assess user satisfaction. The number of controlled laboratories increasedfrom 29 to 146; participation increased from 49% to 93% and general adherence was 72% inthe evaluated period (1996---2018). Improvement in the quality of the results was 15% for lowcomplexity samples; 7% for intermediate complexity samples and 14% for the identification ofhigh complexity strains. Up to 84% of the users consider the PNCCM to be ''very good'' and 16%''satisfactory''. These results show the importance of the PNCCM, which is widely accepted bymycological diagnostic laboratories from Argentina.

RESUMO

The accuracy-based lipid (ABL) proficiency testing (PT) program was started in 2016 by the Korean External Quality Assessment Service to minimize the matrix effect. We analyzed 3 years of the program. We made or purchased six kinds of commutable frozen sera based on the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute 37A guideline and distributed it in two rounds per year from 2016 to 2018. We obtained reference values for levels of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), total glycerides, and triglycerides in each fresh frozen pool at the reference-measurement laboratories. We evaluated the average percent bias of the participating laboratories based on the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) bias limit. The number of participating laboratories evaluating TC, HDLC, LDLC, total glycerides, and triglycerides increased from 164 to 223, 163 to 223, 158 to 214, 98 to 139, and 61 to 82, respectively. The average percent bias of all participating laboratories for TC, HDLC, LDLC, total glycerides, and triglycerides was +0.14%, −0.54%, +2.9%, −1.08%, and −1.32%, respectively. The average percent bias exceeded the NCEP bias limit only once or twice for TC, HDLC, and total glycerides but frequently for LDLC (eight out of 18 pools). The manufacturer-specific bias estimation report seemed useful for traceability. Although the average percent bias of participating laboratories for TC, HDLC, LDLC, total glycerides, and triglycerides was mostly within the bias limit provided by NCEP, cases of bias limit exceeding the NCEP bias limit occurred occasionally, especially for LDLC during the 3 years of the ABL PT program in Korea, suggesting that ABL PT can be used to keep maintaining traceability.

RESUMO

Here, we report the results of the first histocompatibility proficiency testing (PT) performed by the Korean Association of External Quality Assessment Service in 2018. The directly prepared PT specimens of whole blood, sera, and mononuclear cell suspensions were distributed to participants biannually. The number of participants was comparable to that in the previous external PT program, and the response rate was 88%–100%. The accuracy rates for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) A, B, C, DR, and DQ low and high resolution typing were 100%/100%, 100%/98%, 100%/99%, and 99%/98%, respectively; HLA-B27 typing, 99.1%; T cell and B cell crossmatching, 3.1% and 6.0%, respectively; and HLA antibody screening and identification, 100% and 100%, respectively. The results of HLA crossmatching were not reported from four participants due to poor cell viability. Further improvements of the specimen delivery process, grading criteria for crossmatching, and format of participant summary are warranted.

RESUMO

In 2018, the general chemistry proficiency testing program of the Korean Association of External Quality Assessment Service consisted of the routine chemistry and urine chemistry programs including 32 and 13 test items, respectively. The test method classification system was revised in the routine chemistry program, and a qualitative test of human chorionic gonadotropin was added in the urine chemistry program. The routine chemistry program was conducted 4 times a year, while the urine chemistry program was conducted twice a year. Statistical analysis data for the test method and reagent companies were reported based on the information and results of the test items provided by each institution. Statistics included the number of participating institutes, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation (CV), median, and minimum and maximum values for each group. Each report included tables, histograms, Levey-Jennings charts, and the standard deviation index showing the statistics of each test item. In the routine chemistry program, more than 1,000 institutions performed the 17 test items, and the number is continuously increasing. CV for each test item showed a tendency to increase with decreasing concentration of the proficiency material but was within 10% in most cases. Alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase were found to have relatively high CVs because of the differences in results among test methods. In the urine chemistry program, albumin and protein showed high CVs, and the distribution of the test method was different from that of the routine chemistry program.

RESUMO

Herein, we report the results of the 2018 survey on the external quality assessment (EQA) scheme for the Transfusion Medicine Program (TMP) in Korea. The proficiency testing specimens were prepared at Ajou University Hospital and were sent to the participants biannually. The average accuracy rates for ten different test items on the regular survey were as follows: ABO typing, 99.5%–99.8% (N=841); RhD typing, 99.8%–100.0% (N=827); crossmatching, 89.4%–99.6% (N=708); ABO subtyping, 94.2% and 94.4% (N=53); Rh CcEe antigen testing, all 100.0% (N=51); weak D test, 80.9% (N=207) for the first trial and not graded for the second trial; antibody screening, 99.7%–100.0% (N=304); direct antiglobulin test (DAT) using a polyspecific reagent, 98.9%–100.0% (N=264); DAT using an immunoglobulin-G monospecific reagent, all 100.0% (N=66); DAT using a C3d monospecific reagent, 97.0%–100.0% (N=67); antibody identification, 98.4%–100.0% (N=127); and ABO antibody titration, 84.6%–100.0% (N=73). There were approximately 10.5% more participants in the 2018 EQA scheme than that in 2017. Excellent survey results were obtained in the 2018 EQA scheme compared with those in 2017, except for the weak D test. The 2018 EQA scheme for the TMP should be helpful for improving the quality of the participating laboratories.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid factor (RF) is used as one of the diagnostic criteria for rheumatoid arthritis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate qualitative RF reagents used in clinical laboratories in Korea, and to provide basic data that can be used as a reference to improve the quality of RF testing. METHODS: We reviewed the proficiency testing results for RF from the Korean Association of External Quality Assessment Service (KEQAS) and College of American Pathologists. Moreover, we evaluated five commercially available RF qualitative reagents, including LabSlide RF (IVD Lab Co., Korea), ASAN RA Latex Reagents (Asan Pharmaceuticals Co., Korea), RaPET RF (Stanbio Laboratory, USA), RF Latex Test (Pulse Scientific Inc., Canada), and RF-100 (Teco Diagnostics, USA). Commercially available quality control materials, calibrators, and pooled sera were used in this study. The consistency of qualitative reagents and Kappa statistics were calculated based on the quantitative values of the quality control materials and the mixed sera. RESULTS: Up to 51.5% of high concentration samples were reported as negative in KEQAS. RF qualitative reagent test results were not consistent among reagent types. The consistency of the qualitative and quantitative test results was between 51% and 100%, and the kappa statistics varied depending on the reagent manufacturer. CONCLUSIONS: Measurement of RF qualitative reagents used in domestic clinical laboratories was not consistent with the quantitative values, and hence it is necessary to improve the consistency and verify the adequacy of the cut-off value.

RESUMO

Two trials were conducted with proficiency tests for complete blood cell count (CBC) and blood cell morphology as part of the 2018 Routine Hematology Program of the Korean Association of External Quality Assessment Service. Three different control samples were sent for CBC testing and two blood cell morphology pictures were posted on the laboratory website during each trial. The mean response rates of the 1,719 participating laboratories were 97.4% and 37.2% for CBC and blood cell morphology, respectively. The distribution of equipment for CBC testing was comparable to that of the previous year. The coefficient of variation (CV) ranges were determined as 3.5%–4.1%, 1.9%–2.7%, 1.4%–2.8%, 4.5%–5.3%, and 5.4%–6.9% for white blood cell counts, red blood cell counts, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet counts, respectively. The concordance rate ranged from 83.0% to 97.5% in blood cell morphology tests. We observed a continuous increase in the number of participating laboratories and a trend towards a decrease in the CVs of platelet counts compared to those in 2016. Values of the other assessed parameters were similar to those of the previous year.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Standardization of creatinine assay is consistently performed and much effort has been put into improving the accuracy of the results. We aimed to analyze the results of accuracy-based proficiency testing of creatinine assays performed by the Korea Association of External Quality Assessment Service from 2011 to 2017 to assess the current state of creatinine assays in Korea. METHODS: From 2011 to 2017, the accuracy-based proficiency testing of creatinine was performed twice a year. We analyzed the results obtained from the participating laboratories and calculated the year-wise bias. The acceptable limit of bias was as follows: ±11.4% for creatinine concentration >1.0 mg/dL, and 0.114 mg/dL for creatinine concentration ≤1.0 mg/dL. The trend of bias with the major instruments and reagent manufacturers were analyzed. RESULTS: The number of participating laboratories was 54 in 2011, which gradually increased to 146–178 after 2015. For each of the three samples used in the survey, the percentage of laboratories whose biases in the results were within the acceptable limits was 33.3% for the first time in 2011, which gradually increased to 74.7%–85.0% after 2014. The mean biases in all the results of the participating laboratories were 11.1% in 2011 (1st trial) and 2.4% in 2017 (2nd trial). The biases in the results with the major instruments and reagents differed according to the manufacturers. CONCLUSIONS: The mean bias in the results obtained from the participating laboratories in the accuracy-based proficiency testing of creatinine surveys showed a decreasing trend.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Currently there is no external proficiency testing program for allergen-specific immunoglobulin E assays (sIgE) in Korea. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of sIgE performed in different laboratories in Korea using Polycheck Allergy Diagnostic (Biocheck GmbH, Germany) or simply ‘Polycheck’ and to further perform an inter-laboratory comparison of sIgE. METHODS: Three inter-laboratory trials were undertaken from June 2016 to December 2017 at nine institutions. Serum samples obtained from three patients who had a history of positive Polycheck results were used in each trial. A total of 59 allergens were evaluated from the standard panel, inhalation panel, and food panel. The acceptable rates (%) of classes 0–6 of the results were calculated using three different criteria, including the consensus of 80% participants of the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the most frequent value (MFV), and the Overall Misclassification Index Score (OMIS). RESULTS: The proportion of laboratories that showed acceptable results for CAP criteria, MFV, and OMIS were around 93.0%–97.7%, 66.3%–76.0%, and 0.1–1.3, respectively, in each trial. Under-performing institutes showed consistently higher (49/68, 72.1%) or lower (19/68, 27.9%) than acceptable results for all criteria. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study evaluating the inter-laboratory variation of sIgE in Korea using various criteria. It was found that the acceptable rate could be altered based on changes in these criteria. These findings might be useful for the inter-laboratory comparison of sIgE in Korea in the future as well.

RESUMO

@#Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease affecting the upper respiratory tract and occasionally the skin and is caused by the action of diphtheria toxin produced by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. Corynebacterium infections are usually difficult to control due to their epidemic patterns, the emergence of new strains, novel reservoirs and their dissemination to susceptible human and animal populations.1 Although C. diphtheriae is largely controlled through mass immunization programmes, diphtheria escalated to epidemic proportions within the Russian Federation and the former Soviet Republics in the 1990s, highlighting the potential for this disease to cause morbidity and mortality when immunization programmes are disrupted.2 A recent review of global diphtheria epidemiology, which included an analysis of cases and information about age, showed age distribu­tion shifts and found that the majority of cases occur in adoles­cents and adults.3 Shifts in age distribution, from children to adolescents and adults, were observed from countries in the Western Pacific Region such as the Lao People’s Democratic Republic,4 the Philippines3 and Viet Nam.5

RESUMO

This study aims to explore the evaluation model for the proficiency testing of heavy metal and harmful element residues in pharmaceuticals,and to provide reference for the proficiency testing program and proficiency testing result in the field of residue analysis. The proficiency test result of cadmium determination in honeysuckle as an example. The algorithm A,NIQR,and Horwitz function are used to calculate the assigned value and the standard deviation. Z was obtained at the same time. If | Z | ≤2,the result is satisfactory. If 2< | Z | <3,the result is questionable. If | Z | ≥3,the result is unsatisfactory. In addition,the median value is the assigned value,and deviation(D%) is used. If D% is not more than 16%,the result is satisfactory; if D% is more than 16%,the result is unsatisfactory. After analysis,in the results of questionable or dissatisfied laboratories calculated by algorithm A and NIQR,the deviation error of some data is within the scope of the standard. In the results of the satisfactory laboratory evaluated by the Horwitz function,some data deviation errors far exceed the standard range. The evaluation result of the D% meets the requirements. According to heavy metal and harmful element trace analysis methods,this study is the first to apply D% to the evaluation of the detection ability of heavy metals and harmful elements in pharmaceuticals. This method makes the evaluation result more reasonable,and has important reference significance for the evaluation of other proficiency test results.

RESUMO

In 2017, the clinical chemistry proficiency testing program consisted of 24 programs with the addition of the urine chemistry program in the Korean Association of External Quality Assessment Service. The routine chemistry program consisted of 32 test items, including osmolality, total CO2, and estimated glomerular filtration rate tests, and the urine chemistry program consisted of 12 test items, including the albumin test. Based on the information and results of each test item entered by each institution, statistical analysis data according to test method, instrument, and reagent were reported. The statistics included the number of participating institutions, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, minimum, and maximum values for each group. Each report was composed of a table, histogram, Levy-Jennings chart, and standard deviation index showing statistics by each test item. A total of 14 items, including albumin, were evaluated by more than 1,000 institutions, and the number of participating institutions is continuously increasing. The coefficient of variation tended to increase, as the concentration of the control material was lower for each test item. Most of them showed a coefficient of variation within 10%. Alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase were found to have high coefficients of variation due to differences in measurement values between measurement methods. The distribution of measurement methods in general chemistry test items was not significantly different from that of previous years, and the distribution of measurement methods for albumin, glucose, phosphorus, and protein among the urine chemistry program was different from that of the routine chemistry program.

RESUMO

In 2017, the tumor marker program of the Korean Association of External Quality Assessment Service was performed for tumor markers I and II. Tumor marker I comprised alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen, protein induced by vitamin K absence-II, and prostate specific antigen (PSA), and tumor marker II comprised cancer antigen (CA) 125, CA 19-9, CA 15-3, CA 72-4, and beta-2-microglobulin. Two challenges were conducted with three pooled serum or control materials, except for the first tumor marker I challenge. In total, 648 institutions participated in tumor marker I and 380 in tumor marker II programs. The response rates were 92.9%–97.0%. The coefficients of variation (CVs) were different depending on tests and samples, and average CVs were 3.7%–16.8%. The average CV of CA 72-4 tests, whose number of participants was the smallest, was the lowest. The average CV of AFP tests, which included a sample with very high levels, was the highest.

RESUMO

In 2017, the Korean Association of External Quality Assessment Service developed a hormone proficiency testing program that comprised 11 test items for hormone I and four test items for hormone II. This program was conducted twice a year using three-level control materials. Data and results of each test item were analyzed by the respective institutions according to the test instruments. The report was prepared by dividing it into a common report that showed the characteristics of the overall participating institutions and an organization-specific report that showed the assessment data of individual institutions. The following statistical data were presented: the number of participating institutions per group, mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, minimum value, and maximum value. The individual report was composed of a table, histogram, and Levey-Jennings chart showing the statistics for each test item. The results of the assessment of each institution and the statistical data for each classification are presented in a table, and a standard deviation index was provided for both the company classification and classification by instruments. Although the total number of participating institutions and distribution of test instruments were not significantly different from the previous year, the number of participating institutions varied by test item. The coefficient of variation tended to be relatively high for each test item because the concentration of quality control materials was low and the number of participating institutions was small. I believe that these statistical analysis data are useful for analyzing external quality control results of the institutions and selecting an immunoassay test instrument for hormones.
