Definition and application of performance specifications for measurement uncertainty of 23 common laboratory tests: linking theory to daily practice

Federica Braga, Sara Pasqualetti, Francesca Borrillo, Alessia Capoferri, Mariia Chibireva, Leila Rovegno, Mauro Panteghini

Summary: This study aims to provide appropriate analytical performance specifications (APS) for the measurement uncertainty in laboratories. By allocating commonly ordered measurands to different models, specific desirable APS can be defined. The study shows that most tests meet the desirable APS, but some tests need improvement.

Comparison of Two Clinical Chemistry Analyzers by Total Analytical Error and Measurement Uncertainty

Muhammed E. Duz, Elif Menekse, Burak Y. Avci, Alper Gumus

Summary: Analytical errors in laboratory testing are important for laboratory professionals in terms of intervention ability and practicality of follow-up. Clinical laboratories use various parameters such as total analytical error, bias, coefficient of variation, and uncertainty of measurement to assess the quality of test results. This study compared the performance of different laboratory devices and evaluated the results based on various datasets.

Comparison of Two Clinical Chemistry Analyzers by Total Analytical Error and Measurement Uncertainty

Muhammed E. Duz, Elif Menekse, Burak Y. Avci, Alper Gumus

Summary: This study aimed to compare the analytical errors and measurement uncertainty of different devices for biochemical parameters and compared them with other datasets. The results showed no significant differences between the devices during the study period, and similar conclusions were obtained. Different test datasets have different criteria for determining the validity of test results.

Addressing traceability of self-reported dependence measurement through the use of crosswalks

Thomas Salzberger, Stefan Cano, Linda Abetz-Webb, Esther Afolalu, Christelle Chrea, Rolf Weitkunat, Jed Rose

Summary: Measurement in the social sciences has been lacking justification and solid conceptual theories, but with the development of psychometrics, tools for invariant measurement (Rasch measurement theory) have been provided. By co-calibrating different instruments, measurements of the same measurand can be made comparable, improving overall traceability.

MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS OF NUMERICAL VALUE AND VARIABLE IN THE INTERPRETATION OF MEASUREMENT THEORY

Hai-bo Liu, Xiao-ming Ye, Jia-bao Liu, Shi-jun Ding

Summary: This paper reveals the detailed process that traditional measurement theory confuses the concepts of numerical value and variable by reviewing the mathematical concepts of numerical value and variable. It points out the fundamental reason pushing traditional measurement theory into conceptual dilemma and interprets the mathematical reason why the new concept measurement theory believes that the measured values are numerical values rather than variables.

Uncertainty concepts for integrated modeling - Review and application for identifying uncertainties and uncertainty propagation pathways

Mathias Kirchner, Hermine Mitter, Uwe A. Schneider, Mark Sommer, Katharina Falkner, Erwin Schmid

Summary: The study reviews conceptual approaches to address uncertainty in integrated modeling and reveals more similarities than differences in published concepts, especially when focusing on model applications. By slightly adapting the uncertainty framework table and applying it to an existing integrated modeling framework, the study has improved understanding and communication of uncertainties and their propagation pathways. Systematic consideration of uncertainties in integrated modeling can lead to increased trust in model results and provide a better robustness check for policy interventions when simulations are conducted.

Evaluation of 20 clinical chemistry and 12 immunoassay analytes in terms of total analytical error and measurement uncertainty

Ahmet Rifat Balik, Funda Gucel

Summary: In this study, the analytical performance characteristics of routine clinical chemistry and immunoassay tests were compared using different target-setting models. The measurement uncertainty was found to be higher than the total analytical error for all analytes, with ALT, AST, glucose, K, and triglycerides showing the best performance.CLIA for total analytical error, and PRDEQA% and pUEQAS% for measurement uncertainty were found to match better than BVEFLM, RC

Intra-GUM comparisons for the estimation of measurement uncertainty: Application to a chromatographic assay of four statins in a dry form

Hasnaa Haidara, Houda Bouchafra, Taoufiq Saffaj, Bouchaib Ihssane

Summary: The HPLC method is widely used in pharmaceutical analyses, but careful evaluation of measurement uncertainty is necessary to fully understand its characteristics. Studies on uncertainty estimation in chromatographic methods using the Eurachem/Citac guide show diverse approaches. A comparison between the four most commonly used GUM mathematical models for estimating HPLC technique uncertainty was conducted, revealing significant differences that may lead to confusion in reporting measurement results and decision-making. Alternative approaches, such as the total error approach or ISO 11325, are suggested to check the ISO-GUM method's calculation of measurement uncertainty.

Assignment of a Reference Value of Total Cow's Milk Protein Content in Baked Cookies Used in an Interlaboratory Comparison

Andreas Breidbach, Jorgen Vinther Norgaard, Elena Cubero-Leon, Maria Jose Martinez Esteso

Summary: Interlaboratory comparisons in the food allergens field rely on consensus values, but lack of metrological traceability may result in unrecognized biases. This study utilized isotope dilution mass spectrometry to assign a reference value for protein content in a baked cookie and establish metrological traceability. With careful measurement design, a reference value was determined and used for scoring interlaboratory comparisons.

Measurement uncertainty arising from sampling and analytical steps of dissolution test of glyburide tablets

Adriano Y. Sano, Felipe R. Lourenco

Summary: The study evaluated the measurement uncertainty in the dissolution test of glyburide tablets, finding that the majority of uncertainty came from sampling, and the tablets did not meet the specified limits for dissolution. The results offer insights for the pharmaceutical industry to optimize quality control processes and ensure product efficacy and safety.

Current performance of C-reactive protein determination and derivation of quality specifications for its measurement uncertainty

Francesca Borrillo, Mauro Panteghini

Summary: Based on External Quality Assessment data, the harmonization of CRP measuring systems is satisfactory with inter-assay CV well below 10%. When comparing widely used measuring systems at CRP concentrations used for detecting sub-clinical infection (i.e., 10.0 mg/L), the inter-method variability is even better, close to 3%. According to ISO 20914:2019 Technical Specification, the measurement variability is estimated from the within-lab reproducibility, and the maximum allowable measurement uncertainty (MAU) for CRP measurement on clinical samples with 10.0 mg/L concentrations is 3.76%.

Estimating Analytical Errors of Glomerular Filtration Rate Measurement

Damiano Ognissanti, Moa Andresen Bergstrom, Elvar Theodorsson, Anders Larsson, Gunnar Nordin, Ola Hammarsten

Summary: In this study, we investigated the impact of optimizing sampling time points and estimating analytical uncertainty on calculating glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We found that incorrect time point selection could lead to inflation of analytical uncertainty in GFR calculations, but using optimal time points could yield the same uncertainty as analytical uncertainty. Among the three samples, the middle sample had little value. The first sample should be collected as early as possible after the distribution phase. Sampling before the patient-specific half-life of the kidney filtration marker resulted in exponential error inflation, while no error inflation was observed when sampling occurred later than 2 half-lives. Theoretical GFR uncertainty could be reduced by 2.6-fold if individually optimized time points were used in 731 clearance measurements. By using Taylor expansions to approximate the moments of transformed random variables, the uncertainty of individual GFR measurements could be calculated in a simple manner that can be applied by laboratory software.
