Establishment of sex-specific reference intervals for automated haematology analyser-delivered research parameters in healthy Korean adults: a retrospective database review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Automated haematology analysers measure various parameters of relevance to clinical research along with routine complete blood count (CBC)-related components. We aimed to establish ethnicity-specific and sex-specific reference intervals for 26 research-specific parameters as well as 18 routinely reported components using a large cohort of healthy Korean adults. The necessity of requiring separate sex-specific reference intervals for each parameter was also examined.

Design

A retrospective database review.

Setting

Single tertiary-care hospital of approximately 375 physicians and 530 nurses.

Participants

This study included 1383 reference individuals (840 men and 543 women).

Primary and secondary outcome measures
