Analysis of external quality control assessment results of fluorine and arsenic in Qinghai Province from 2014 to 2020 / 中华地方病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To understand the detection quality and external quality control assessment of fluorine and arsenic laboratories at all levels in Qinghai Province.Methods:Z-ratio scoring method was used to analyze and evaluate the results of provincial, municipal and county-level laboratories participating in the national fluorine and arsenic external quality control assessment from 2014 to 2020 in Qinghai Province, │Z│≤ 2 was qualified, 2 <│Z│ < 3 was basically qualified and│Z│≥ 3 was unqualified. At the same time, the feedback rate and pass rate of the participating laboratories were calculated.Results:From 2014 to 2020, the external quality control assessment results of water arsenic, urinary arsenic and brick tea fluorine in Qinghai Provincial laboratory were all qualified; except for the external quality control assessment of water fluorine in 2018 that was basically qualified, the results of other years were all qualified. Municipal and county-level laboratories did not give feedback the external quality control assessment results of water arsenic and urinary arsenic in 2017, and the feedback rate and pass rate in other years were 100.0%; except for the external quality control feedback rate and pass rate of water fluorine and brick tea fluorine in 2014 that were all 100.0%, there were laboratories that did not give feedback or failed the assessment in other years.Conclusion:The testing ability of provincial laboratory in Qinghai Province meets the standard, and the testing ability of municipal and county-level laboratories still need to be improved continuously.
