The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 15189:2012 standard aims to improve quality in medical laboratories through standardization of all key elements in the total testing process, including the pre-analytical phase. It is hence essential that accreditation bodies, assessing laboratories against ISO15189:2012, pay sufficient atten...

ObjectivesPlacental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) assays and the corresponding ratios (sFlt-1/PlGF) have been proposed to aid in the diagnosis by exclusion and/or prognosis of preeclampsia (PE). A method for evaluating ratio uncertainties (RUs), based on the theory of error propagation, was applied to the sFlt...

ObjectivesChildren with very short telomeres commonly develop bone marrow failure and other severe diseases. Identifying the individuals with short telomeres can improve outcome of bone marrow transplantation, with accurate diagnosis requiring the use of age-matched reference intervals (RIs). This study aimed to establish RIs for telomere length (T...
