Item Systematic review and meta-analysis of within-subject and between-subject biological variation estimates of 20 haematological parameters(WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2020-01-01) Coskun, Abdurrahman; Braga, Federica; Carobene, Anna; Tejedor Ganduxe, Xavier; Aarsand, Aasne K.; Fernandez-Calle, Pilar; Diaz-Garzon Marco, Jorge; Bartlett, William; Jonker, Niels; Aslan, Berna; Minchinela, Joana; Boned, Beatriz; Gonzalez-Lao, Elisabet; Marques-Garcia, Fernando; Perich, Carmen; Ricos, Carmen; Simon, Margarita; Sandberg, Sverre; Chem, European Federation ClinicalBackground: Interpretation of the complete blood count (CBC) parameters requires reliable biological variation (BV) data. The aims of this study were to appraise the quality of publications reporting BV data for CBC parameters by applying the BV Data Critical Appraisal Checklist (BIVAC) and to deliver global BV estimates based on BIVAC compliant studies. Methods: Relevant publications were identified by a systematic literature search and evaluated for their compliance with the 14 BIVAC criteria, scored as A, B, C or D, indicating decreasing compliance. Global CVI and CVG estimates with 95\% CI were delivered by a meta-analysis approach using data from BIVAC compliant papers (grades A-C). Results: In total, 32 studies were identifiedItem Critical appraisal and meta-analysis of biological variation estimates for kidney related analytes(WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2022-01-01) Jonker, Niels; Aslan, Berna; Boned, Beatriz; Marques-Garcia, Fernando; Ricos, Carmen; Alvarez, Virtudes; Bartlett, William; Braga, Federica; Carobene, Anna; Coskun, Abdurrahman; Diaz-Garzon, Jorge; Fernandez-Calle, Pilar; Gonzalez-Lao, Elisabet; Minchinela, Joana; Perich, Carmen; Simon, Margarita; Sandberg, Sverre; Aarsand, Aasne K.Objectives Kidney markers are some of the most frequently used laboratory tests in patient care, and correct clinical decision making depends upon knowledge and correct application of biological variation (BV) data. The aim of this study was to review available BV data and to provide updated BV estimates for the following kidney markers in serum and plasmaItem Critical review and meta-analysis of biological variation estimates for tumor markers(WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2022-01-01) Marques-Garcia, Fernando; Boned, Beatriz; Gonzalez-Lao, Elisabet; Braga, Federica; Carobene, Anna; Coskun, Abdurrahman; Diaz-Garzon, Jorge; Fernandez-Calle, Pilar; Carmen Perich, Maria; Simon, Margarida; Jonker, Niels; Aslan, Berna; Bartlett, William Alexander; Sandberg, Sverre; Aarsand, Aasne K.; Chem, European Federation Clinical; Database, Task Grp Biol VariationObjectives Biological variation data (BV) can be used for different applications, but this depends on the availability of robust and relevant BV data. In this study, we aimed to summarize and appraise BV studies for tumor markers, to examine the influence of study population characteristics and concentrations on BV estimates and to discuss the applicability of BV data for tumor markers in clinical practice. Methods Studies reporting BV data for tumor markers related to gastrointestinal, prostate, breast, ovarian, haematological, lung, and dermatological cancers were identified by a systematic literature search. Relevant studies were evaluated by the Biological Variation Data Critical Appraisal Checklist (BIVAC) and meta-analyses were performed for BIVAC compliant studies to deliver global estimates of within-subject (CVI) and between-subject (CVG) BV with 95\% CI. Results The systematic review identified 49 studies delivering results for 22 tumor markersItem Biological variation estimates of thyroid related measurands - meta-analysis of BIVAC compliant studies(WALTER DE GRUYTER GMBH, 2022-01-01) Fernandez-Calle, Pilar; Diaz-Garzon, Jorge; Bartlett, William; Sandberg, Sverre; Braga, Federica; Beatriz, Boned; Carobene, Anna; Coskun, Abdurrahman; Gonzalez-Lao, Elisabet; Marques, Fernando; Perich, Carmen; Simon, Margarida; Aarsand, Aasne K.; Variation, E.F.L.M. Working Grp Biol; Database, Task Grp Biol VariationObjectives Testing for thyroid disease constitutes a high proportion of the workloads of clinical laboratories worldwide. The setting of analytical performance specifications (APS) for testing methods and aiding clinical interpretation of test results requires biological variation (BV) data. A critical review of published BV studies of thyroid disease related measurands has therefore been undertaken and meta-analysis applied to deliver robust BV estimates. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted for BV studies of thyroid related analytes. BV data from studies compliant with the Biological Variation Data Critical Appraisal Checklist (BIVAC) were subjected to meta-analysis. Global estimates of within subject variation (CVI) enabled determination of APS (imprecision and bias), indices of individuality, and indicative estimates of reference change values. Results The systematic review identified 17 relevant BV studies. Only one study (EuBIVAS) achieved a BIVAC grade of A. Methodological and statistical issues were the reason for B and C scores. The meta-analysis derived CVI generally delivered lower APS for imprecision than the mean CVA of the studies included in this systematic review. Conclusions Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies of BV of thyroid disease biomarkers have enabled delivery of well characterized estimates of BV for some, but not all measurands. The newly derived APS for imprecision for both free thyroxine and triiodothyronine may be considered challenging. The high degree of individuality identified for thyroid related measurands reinforces the importance of RCVs. Generation of BV data applicable to multiple scenarios may require definition using ``big data{''} instead of the demanding experimental approach.
