Area of Science:

  • Clinical Hematology
  • Medical Laboratory Science

Context:

  • Hematology reference values exhibit significant inter-laboratory variability.
  • Differences are primarily attributed to patient and control group selection.
  • Standardization efforts have reduced preanalytical and instrumentation-related discrepancies.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate and validate common hematology reference values through meta-analysis.
  • To identify factors contributing to reference value variations.
  • To establish reliable reference ranges stratified by age, gender, and race.

Summary:

  • A meta-analysis of Swiss hospital practices and literature review revealed extensive variations in hematology reference values.
  • Validated reference values were established, considering age, gender, and race, approximating a Gaussian distribution.
  • Recent standardization has minimized differences due to instrumentation and preanalytics.

Impact:

  • Provides validated hematology reference values for improved diagnostic accuracy.
  • Facilitates better discrimination of hematological diseases like iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia, and hemolysis.
  • Aims to enhance clinical decision-making and patient care in hematology.
