International interlaboratory proficiency testing program for measurement of azole antifungal plasma concentrations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An international interlaboratory proficiency testing program for the measurement of antifungal drugs was initiated in 2007. This first round was limited to azole antifungals: fluconazole, itraconazole and hydroxyitraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole. The results demonstrate the need for and utility of an ongoing proficiency testing program to further improve the analytical methods for routine patient management and clinical research.

BACKGROUND The correlation between hemoglobin A(1c) (Hb A(1c)) and risk for complications in diabetic patients heightens the need to measure Hb A(1c) with accuracy. We evaluated the current performance for measuring Hb A(1c) in the Asian and Pacific region by examining data submitted by laboratories participating in the Taiwan proficiency-testing program. METHODS Five fresh-pooled blood sampl...
متن کاملInternational interlaboratory quality control program for measurement of antiretroviral drugs in plasma.
An international interlaboratory quality control program for measurement of antiretroviral drugs was initiated. The first round was confined to protease inhibitors and showed large variability in the performance of participating laboratories. The results demonstrate the need for and utility of an ongoing quality control program in this area of bioanalysis.
متن کاملUse of computer modeling to predict the magnitude of intralaboratory error tolerated by proposed CDC interlaboratory proficiency testing performance criteria.
In December 1987, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) proposed to the Health Care Financing Administration revised criteria for evaluating participating laboratories' performance in proficiency-testing programs. If these criteria are accepted, they will become the minimum standard for all regulatory proficiency-testing programs. To evaluate a laboratory's performance in a clinical chemistry p...
