Consensus on the analysis quality goal of clinical laboratories（Ⅰ）

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-8640.2016.01.001

Abstract

Abstract:

The determination quality of clinical laboratory tests is related to the life safety of patients,and the establishment of evaluation methods and indicators for determination result quality（analysis quality） becomes the focus of study,comment and practice. In order to unify the understanding and definition of analysis quality indicators and the practical evaluation methods of determination quality around the world,there were several international consensus meetings. The consensus statement on the Stockholm consensus conference,April 1999,was the guideline for the establishment and evaluation of quality indicator grading for clinical laboratories. At the Milan conference,Italy,May 2014,the consensus statement modified the classification of analysis quality indicators published at the Stockholm consensus conference,1999,and became the base of further implement and investigation.

Key words: Analytical performance, Performance indicator, Quality goal, Allowable error, Consensus statement, Imprecision, Bias, Allowable coefficient of variation, Allowable bias
