Abstract

Objectives: The IFCC Committee on Reference Intervals and Decision Limits coordinated a global multicenter study on reference values (RVs) to explore rational and harmonizable procedures for derivation of reference intervals (Rls) and investigate the feasibility of sharing RIs through evaluation of sources of variation of RVs on a global scale.
