实验室间比较(ILC)研究的数据和结果,外部质量评估(EQA)和能力测试(PT)活动对医学实验室诊断所有学科的进一步发展都是重要而有价值的贡献,以及体外诊断试验的评价和比较。到目前为止,然而,关于实验室间比较的出版物中没有关于哪些基本项目的建议。欧洲实验室医学外部质量保证提供商组织(EQALM)认识到需要此类建议,这些是由一组专家开发的。这项努力的结果是关于实验室间比较活动出版物(PubILC)中建议处理的项目的EQALM声明,结合用户友好的清单。一旦被作者和期刊采用,EQALM声明将确保有关EQA/PT活动的出版物中包含基本信息和/或与研究相关的事实。
Data and results from interlaboratory comparison (ILC) studies, external quality assessment (EQA) and proficiency testing (PT) activities are important and valuable contributions both to the further development of all disciplines of medical laboratory diagnostics, and to the evaluation and comparison of in vitro diagnostic assays. So far, however, there are no recommendations as to which essential items should be addressed in publications on interlaboratory comparisons. The European Organization of External Quality Assurance Providers in Laboratory Medicine (EQALM) recognized the need for such recommendations, and these were developed by a group of experts. The result of this endeavor is the EQALM Statement on items recommended to be addressed in publications on interlaboratory comparison activities (PubILC), in conjunction with a user-friendly checklist. Once adopted by authors and journals, the EQALM Statement will ensure essential information and/or study-related facts are included within publications on EQA/PT activities.
