Terms of Reference
- To review current concepts of establishing reference intervals
and decision limits and to prepare state-of-the-art position
statements regarding new avenues
- To make available reference intervals and decision limits that
respect the requirements of international directives such as the
European IVD Directive 98/79, and relevant ISO standards
- To determine priority list of measurands (analytes) for which
reference intervals and/or decision limits have to be developed,
considering various factors, such as age, gender, ethnicity, and
for which the greatest improvements in medical decision making are
anticipated
- To monitor and evaluate currently proposed reference intervals
for selected measurands (analytes) in the light of the concept of
traceability and of the identification of the uncertainty
- To establish transferabilty protocols of reference intervals
and decision limits, which take into consideration inter-routine
laboratory method variations and achieve better applicability in
clinical practice
- To collaborate with other organizations and/or to undertake
establishment of reference intervals or decision limits for
measurands (analytes) identified as a priority
- To work in close collaboration with other Cs and WGs of SD and
other IFCC Divisions for the development and appropriate clinical
utilization of reference intervals and decision limits
Current Projects
- Preparation of a publication on reference intervals for AST,
ALT, GGT and ALP
- Collaboration in a multicenter study for the definition of
reference intervals of the most common serum analytes in the Asian
population
