Study the allowable total error range for 23 analytes of clinical chemistry in Shanghai / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective Investigated and analyzed the data of routine coefficient of variation (R CV ) from clinical laboratories of the second and the third grade hospital, we have drawed up Internal Quality Control(IQC) requirement of clinical chemistry in Shanghai Methods In this survey, we defined IQC requirement a quarter of CLIA’88 proficiency testing criteria as acceptable analytical performance From 147 clinical laboratories, we get 3 570 336 IQC data of 23 analytes of clinical chemistry which was analyzed and percentiles were calculated The outcome from the statistical analysis was compared with recommendation from the Ministry of Health in1985 Results 138 clinical laboratories (94 0%) CV results in Shanghai were less than R CV recommendation from the Ministry of Health About 111 clinical laboratories (75 5%) results are according with IQC requirement Conclusion IQC requirement is suitable for the clinical laboratories in Shanghai 75 5% clinical laboratories accorded with IQC requirement and 24 5% clinical laboratories should improve technique to carry out the IQC requirement
