ASSESSMENT OF MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY AND TOTAL ANALYTICAL ERROR OF SOME BIOCHEMITRY TESTS AT HANOI HEART HOSPITAL IN 2022
Main Article Content
Abstract
Quality assuranCe is essential aspeCt of any mediCal laboratories. The Um and TE are not only Compatible approaChes but aCtually both required for the goal of improVing quality. Objective: To eValuate the measurement unCertainty and total analysis error of some bioChemiCal tests at Hanoi Heart Hospital in 2022. Methods: Applied the top-down method to estimate the UnCertainty of measurement Um; Westgard’s equatiOn was used tO estimate TOtal anatyCal error TE for some bioChemitry tests. The Criteria for Um and TE are based on the total error allowable TEa aCCording to biologiCal Variation. Results: All test haVe Um greater than TE exCepet GluCose. Two tests with Um and TE did not meet the standard for TEa aCCording to biologiCal Variation are quantitatiVe test for Sodium and Chloride (but still meets the RiliBÄK standard – German). Conclusion: Um cOver mOre cOmpOnents that affect test’s results than TE. The Criteria for biologiCal Variation may be are too striCt for some tests inCluding eleCtrolytes.
