  • Title: [New common reference intervals for clinical chemistry in the Nordic countries. A better basis for clinical assessment and cooperation].
    Author: Simonsson P, Mårtensson A, Rustad P.
    Journal: Lakartidningen; 2004 Mar 04; 101(10):901-5. PubMed ID: 15055053.
    Abstract:
    A project engaging the five Nordic countries has presented common reference intervals for the most frequently used biochemical and haematological analytes. The results are based on samples from up to 3000 healthy adult reference persons and are statistically calculated to include 95% of the reference population's values. Reference samples were analyzed together with commutable control materials traceable to reference methods (IMEP-17). Enzymes were analyzed using methods traceable to IFCC reference methods. The Swedish Society of Clinical Chemistry now recommends its member laboratories to introduce the new reference intervals and new enzyme methods during 2004.
