This book describes reference intervals and their use in the clinical laboratory setting. Intended for those who work in the area of laboratory medicine, Reference Intervals addresses the common methods and limitations of deriving and interpreting reference intervals and covers the following topics:
<ul>
<li>History and use of the reference interval </li>
<li>Description of the current standards </li>
<li>Real-world constraints and solutions </li>
<li>Statistical modeling of reference intervals </li>
<li>How to deal with outliers and/or small samples </li>
<li>Description of robust reference intervals </li>
<li>The transference problem</li>
</ul> The accompanying CD-ROM contains 264 tables of reference intervals, based on physician-determined healthy individuals, covering 33 analytes and 3 ethnic groups. Included among these tables are reference intervals based on the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III). Also included: SAS® programs that derive traditional and robust reference intervals with outliers removed. System Requirements for the CD-ROM:<ul>

The seventh edition of Pediatric Reference Intervals is a valuable reference providing instant and accurate reference intervals for over 250 chemistry and hematology analytes in an alphabetized, user-friendly format. Changes to this edition include new analytes in the Chemistry section, including C-peptide, haptoglobin, and insulin; new analytes in the Hematology section, including hemoglobin A, hemoglobin A2, hemoglobin F, immature platelet fraction, and reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent; addition of reference intervals for steroids, free thyroxine, and free triiodothyronine measured by tandem mass spectrometry; and addition of reference intervals employing new platforms such as the Abbott Architect® ci8200 and the Roche cobas® 6000 analyzer. Since the first edition was published in 1995, Pediatric Reference Intervals (formerly Pediatric Reference Ranges) has been a must-have for clinical chemists, hematologists, pathologists, endocrinologists, and pediatricians. It enhances interpretation of patient results, allows comparison of test results using different methods, and helps optimize patient care. Pediatric Reference Intervals provides the following information: age- and sex-related reference ranges; methodology; type of specimen; references; statistical basis; population sources; and in most cases, SI units.
