Protocollo per la comparazione di due metodi analitici di laboratorio
Protocol for the comparison of two laboratory methods
<p>Method comparison is one of the main concerns in&nbsp;Laboratory Medicine. With the introduction of new methods with potential advantages (e.g., cost reduction, improvement&nbsp;in efficiency, easier procedures and maintenance) the laboratory staff should investigate if the field method in use may&nbsp;be replaced by the new candidate method without compromising analytical quality nor resulting in a different medical&nbsp;decision or patient management. Several statistical approaches and graphical tools are available to investigate sources&nbsp;of analytical error and for decision-making. In this article, we present an operative protocol for the comparison of two&nbsp;quantitative analytical methods. All sequential steps, including experimental design, familiarization with the new method,&nbsp;quality assessment, sample selection, definition of acceptability criteria, sample measurement, data analysis and&nbsp;evaluation, final decision and reporting, are discussed and exemplified.</p>
