Abstract:

Objective To compare the application of patient medians and exponentially weighted moving average(EWMA) in in-laboratory comparison of peripheral blood red blood cell(RBC) count results by different instruments. Methods From July 1st 2020 to December 31st 2020,based on AI-MA patient datum quality control intelligent monitoring platform,EWMA method and median method were used to compare and analyze the monthly and daily deviations of 3 cut-off concentrations obtained between 3 comparison instruments(A2,A3 and A4) and reference instrument(A1). Results When month was taken as statistical cycle,the monthly deviation obtained by EWMA method was within the allowable range,and the monthly deviation obtained by median method was inconsistent with the L1 concentration of one instrument. When taking day as statistical cycle,the daily deviation of L2 concentration obtained by the 2 methods was within the allowable range,and there were many nonconformities in the daily deviation of L1 and L3 concentrations. Conclusions The monitoring efficiency of EWMA method and median method for continuous real-time comparison of peripheral blood results between instruments in the laboratory is basically the same. It is an economic and practical comparison method.
