Abstract: Although laboratory result presentation may lead to information overload and subsequent missed or delayed diagnosis, little has been done in the past to improve this post-analytical issue. We aimed to investigate the efficiency, efficacy and user satisfaction of alternative report formats.
We redesigned cumulative (sparkline format) and single reports (improved tabular and z-log format) and tested these on 46 physicians, nurses and medical students in comparison to the classical tabular formats, …. Click here to read more

An international study on activated partial thromboplastin time prolongation. Part 1: Analytical results

Bauça JM, Ajzner E, Cadamuro J, Hillarp A, Kristoffersen AH, Meijer P; Working Group on the Postanalytical Phase of the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM)

Clinica Chimica Acta 2023
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cca.2022.08.024

Abstract: Unexpected prolongation of first-line coagulation tests, including activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), should trigger further work-up by performing mixing tests to elucidate the underlying cause, direct further specific testing and clarify their possible clinical impact. The aim of our study was to assess whether methodological diversity has any impact on the APTT mixing test results and their interpretation. …. Click here to read more

An international study on activated partial thromboplastin time prolongation. Part 2: Interpretative commenting

Bauça JM, Ajzner E, Cadamuro J, Hillarp A, Kristoffersen AH, Meijer P; Working Group on the Postanalytical Phase of the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM)

Clinica Chimica Acta 2023
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cca.2022.08.026

Abstract: Providing evidence-based interpretative comments (IC) is an integral task of clinical laboratory professionals. It may be of special relevance for coagulation testing, where pathological first-line tests could trigger more specialized tests. Our aim was to evaluate the quality of ICs provided to the physician in two samples with activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) prolongation. …. Click here to read more
