Reliable estimates of biological variation is organized by European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) and will be held on Mar 06, 2018.
Biological variation (BV) data has many appliances in the daily laboratory life, being used both when evaluating the diagnosis and monitoring of disease and for setting analytical performance specifications. Thus, the quality of our work directly depends on the reliability of the BV estimates used as a basis for these processes. Widely varying BV estimates are available for different measurands, and it is likely that this may be caused by differences in study design and statistical handling.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
