Systematic bias between blood-pH instruments.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Measurement of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffers and blood samples was used to compare the following commercial pH instruments: Corning Models 160 and 165, Instrumentation Laboratory, Inc. Model 313, and Radiometer Models E5021 and BMS 3MK2. These comparisons uncovered a systematic bias of 0.02 pH units in Instrumentation Laboratory, Inc. electrodes manufactured before April 1973. Other factors found to affect analytical results were the temperature of the saturated KCI saft bridge and reference electrode, the design of the temperature-control system, and the buffer used to standardize the instruments.

Instruments for Assessing Risk of Bias and Other Methodological Criteria of Published Animal Studies: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND Results from animal toxicology studies are critical to evaluating the potential harm from exposure to environmental chemicals or the safety of drugs prior to human testing. However, there is significant debate about how to evaluate the methodology and potential biases of the animal studies. There is no agreed-upon approach, and a systematic evaluation of current best practices is lac...
متن کاملA method-comparison study regarding the validity and reliability of the Lactate Plus analyzer
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to: (1) determine the validity and reliability of the Nova Biomedical Lactate Plus portable analyzer, and quantify any fixed or proportional bias; (2) determine the effect of any bias on the determination of the lactate threshold and (3) determine the effect that blood sampling methods have on validity and reliability. DESIGN In this method comparison st...
متن کاملBias Detection: Study Identifies Instruments for Evaluating Animal Studies
No good scientist wants to produce, or be accused of producing, a poorly conducted study. Even so, toxicologists conducting animal studies are not widely expected to document the steps they take to ensure internal validity—that is, to prevent their results from being skewed due to a methodological issue (a concept known as risk of bias). This is likely to change soon, and a team of researchers ...
متن کاملTract Sizes in Miniaturized Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Systematic Review from the European Association of Urology Urolithiasis Guidelines Panel.
CONTEXT Miniaturized instruments for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL), utilizing tracts sized ≤22 Fr, have been developed in an effort to reduce the morbidity and increase the efficiency of stone removal compared with standard PNL (>22 Fr). OBJECTIVE We systematically reviewed all available evidence on the efficacy and safety of miniaturized PNL for removing renal calculi. EVIDENCE ACQUIS...
متن کاملTesting the agreement of medical instruments: overestimation of bias in the Bland-Altman analysis.
OBJECTIVES The Bland-Altman method is the most popular method used to assess the agreement of medical instruments. The main concern about this method is the presence of proportional bias. The slope of the regression line fitted to the Bland-Altman plot should be tested to exclude proportional bias. The aim of this study was to determine whether the overestimation of bias in the Bland-Altman ana...
