The long-term quality control and clinical data evaluation of individuals in AMHTS

A new aspect of clinical data evaluation has been revealed by our recent research on the membership of AMHTS--long-term quality control (LTQC). The state of LTQC is evaluated by the distribution of mu, where mu is (mean minus micro 0) square root n minus/sigma 0, n is the number of the samples taken each day, mean is the mean of each day's samples, and sigma 0 and micro 0 are population deviation. Correction methods have been developed to obtain reasonable correction factors against the long-term analytic errors, and they have been implemented as an on-line, real-time subsystem of the AMHTS information system. The correction of LTQC errors has enabled us to observe an individual's health dynamics accurately, which allows us to pursue detection methods of diseases, such as cancer, in terms of a homeostatic disorder.
