The introduction of home blood glucose monitoring (BGM) 40 years ago revolutionized
diabetes self-management, providing valuable glucose data that have helped many people …

Preanalytical errors have previously been shown to contribute a significant proportion of
errors in laboratory processes and contribute to a number of patient safety risks …

A body of evidence collected in the last few decades demonstrates that the pre-and post-
analytical phases of the testing cycle are more error-prone than the analytical phase …

Background Laboratory testing is roughly divided into three phases: a pre-analytical phase,
an analytical phase and a post-analytical phase. Most analytical errors have been attributed …

Background: Laboratory errors arise at any stage of testing. Detecting these inaccuracies
before results are revealed might delay diagnosis and treatment, causing patient distress …

Objective We assessed the commutativity of Roche and Abbott thyroid assays in the
diagnosis and management of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). The Roche and Abbott …

Healthcare budgets worldwide are under constant pressure to reduce costs while improving
efficiency and quality. This phenomenon is also visible in clinical laboratories. Efficiency …

It has been well documented over recent years that the preanalytical phase is a leading
contributor to errors in the total testing process (TTP). There has however been great …

Background The increase of medical laboratory test errors represents the increase of all
defects within the process. An error can be any defect during the entire process, from …

Sažetak Introduction: Compared to other activities of the testing process, the preanalytical
phase is plagued by a lower degree of standardization, which makes it more vulnerable to …
