ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the differences of reference intervals (RI) established by two types of indirect methods for 34 biochemical analytes, and to explore the possible factors that affect the consistency of the two methods.Methods:This was a retrospective study. Based on data of albumin (Alb), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), apolipoprotein A1(ApoA1), ApolipoproteinB (ApoB), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), calcium (Ca), cholinesterase (ChE), chloride (Cl), creatinine (Cr), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), Cystatin (CysC), direct bilirubin (DBil), free fatty acid (FFA), glycated albumin(GA), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), glucose (Glu), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), potassium (K), lactate dehydrogenase (LD), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), lipoprotein a [Lp (a)], sodium (Na), phosphorus (P), prealbumin (PA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total bile acid (TBA), total bilirubin (TBil), total cholesterol (TC), total carbon dioxide (TCO 2), triglyceride (TG), total protein (TP), uric acid (UA) and urea (UR) of individuals who underwent physical examination at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019, Box-Cox algorithm was used to improve the data distribution and Tukey method was used to identify outliers. Variance component model was established, and standard deviation ratio (SDR) was calculated to determine whether the RIs of 34 biochemical analytes should be established according to age or sex The non-parametric method and kosmic algorithm were used to establish the RIs and 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of 34 biochemical analytes, and the coincidence of the 90% CIs of the reference limits for two methods was compared. Results:The skewness coefficients of ALP(male, female18-59), ALT, AST, hsCRP, DBil, GGT, Lp (a), TBA, TBil, TG, Glu, HDL-C(male) and CysC, GA, UR in the elderly group deviated from 0, and their kurtosis coefficients also deviated from 3. For these biochemical analytes, the point estimates of the RIs established by the two methods differed greatly and the 90% CIs did not overlap. The analytes with good normality were Alb, ApoA1, ApoB, Ca, ChE, Cl, Cr(E), CysC(18-59), FFA, GA(18-59), HDL-C(female), K, LDL-C, Na, P, PA, SOD, TC, TCO 2, TP and UR. The consistency is good. Except for Ca, 90% CIs of reference limits for some analyte between the two methods coincide with each other. Conclusions:The consistency of different indirect methods is affected by the normality of data.
