Total Errors of TSH results by fluorescent immunoassay technique from dried blood spots in a newborn screening program for congenital hypothyroidism - variations in time
Abstract:Objective:the aim of this study was to evaluate the imprecision of the method used to determine TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) levels from dried blood spots in a newborn screening program and how the value of the coefficient of variation influences the total error of the method.Methods:A short-term evaluation of imprecision was compared with the imprecision of the method assessed over five years. The coefficient of variation from the best quality control period and the worst quality control period were used… Show more
