Abstract

Background: Indirect derivation of reference intervals (RIs) from the laboratory information system (LIS) has been recently pursued. We aimed at evaluating the accuracy of indirectly predicted RIs compared to the RIs established directly from healthy subjects in the nationwide RI study in Turkey, targeting 25 major chemistry analytes.
