    Hematologic values from 6,887 outpatients were analyzed. Newer methods yielded slightly lower hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell counts compared to established norms.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical pathology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Hematologic parameters are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions.
    • Establishing accurate reference ranges is essential for reliable clinical interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey hematologic values in a large outpatient population using the Coulter Counter, Model S.
    • To compare these values against commonly accepted normal ranges.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of blood specimens from 6,887 outpatients (men, women, and children).
    • Exclusion of patients seeing nephrologists, hematologists, and oncologists.
    • Utilized the Coulter Counter, Model S for automated hematologic analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Mean values for white blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration aligned well with established normal values.

  • Mean values for hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell count were observed to be slightly lower than commonly accepted normal means.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Coulter Counter, Model S provides reliable hematologic values.
    • Slightly lower mean values for hemoglobin, hematocrit, and RBC count may reflect advancements in analytical accuracy.
    • Further investigation into updated reference ranges may be warranted.
