Biological variation database: structure and criteria used for generation and update

Abstract: Our aim here is to document, in detail, the methodology we used to evaluate the reliability of the included data compiled from the published literature. To date, our approach has not been explicitly documented, although the principles have been presented at many symposia, courses and conferences.

“…Reviews of BVD available for a range of analytical targets highlight many issues in study designs and reporting [10][11][12]. This provides a major challenge to users trying to translate the content of individual publications into practice and to those attempting to collate valid data sets into databases for use by multiple users [17]. The problems associated with, and the needs for standardisation of, terminology used in publications of BV studies have also been highlighted by Simundic et al [13].…”

“…The concept of scoring publications containing BVD has been described by Perich et al [17]. It is proposed by the BVWG that a more sophisticated score should be included in the MDS to accompany BVD as a quality measure to further aid to users as a quality measure [18].…”

“…It is extensive and presents data and derived analytical quality specifications for imprecision (I%), bias (B%) and total error (TE%) for more than 350 measurands. It is however, only recently that Perich et al have published criteria used to evaluate the reliability of the data included in the BV-DB [9].…”
