    This study introduces atypicality indices for interpreting laboratory data. This new method offers a uniform approach to reporting and interpreting lab results, even for multiple tests simultaneously.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Diagnostics
    • Biostatistics

    Background:

    • Existing methods for relating laboratory results to reference values are often unsatisfactory.
    • A need exists for a uniform and interpretable system for laboratory data analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel method using atypicality indices for laboratory data interpretation.
    • To provide a uniform reporting standard for laboratory results.
    • To enable feasible interpretation of laboratory data, including multivariate cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Defining an atypicality index as the probability of a result being closer to the reference population mean than the observed value.
    • Developing a method applicable to both univariate and multivariate laboratory data.
    • Utilizing probability to quantify the deviation of a lab result from the norm.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed atypicality index increases as a measured value becomes less likely within the reference population.
    • The method provides a quantifiable measure of how atypical a laboratory result is.
    • The index demonstrates desirable simplicity and consistency when extended to multivariate analyses.

    Conclusions:

    • Atypicality indices offer a satisfactory solution for relating laboratory results to reference values.
    • This method ensures uniform reporting and facilitates interpretation of complex laboratory data.
    • The approach is robust and extends effectively to simultaneous interpretation of multiple laboratory tests.
