The following database tables have been arranged in three categories: Measurands, Clinical Applications and Laboratory Applications.
Measurands
› Biochemistry (1 table)
Clinical Applications:
Focuses on clinically related aspects of biological variation (reference change values).
Laboratory Applications:
Focuses on laboratory related aspects of biological variation (quality standards).
Reference number relates to the citation list.
Legend:
CVI - intraindividual variation.
CVG- between individual variation.
CVA - analyser variation (reported in the study, shown in red if > 0.5 x CVI). This can be determined by replicate analyses or from quality control studies (QCM)
II - Index of Individuality. A high level indicates subject-based reference intervals (RCV) are more appropriate, a low level indicates population-based reference intervals are appropriate, intermediate levels indicate both reference change values and reference intervals should be assessed.
RCV - reference change value calculated to 95% and 99%.
These terms are explained on the ‘About BV’ page.
