This study introduces the REN plot, a novel statistical method using non-parametric percentiles for precise clinical laboratory data expression. It effectively visualizes data distributions, outperforming traditional methods for both normal and abnormal data.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Medical Laboratory Science

Context:

  • Clinical laboratory data often exhibit non-normal distributions, challenging traditional statistical methods like mean and standard deviation.
  • Accurate representation of diverse data distributions is crucial for reliable clinical interpretations and quality control.

Purpose:

  • To introduce and evaluate a new statistical expression method, the REN plot, for improved analysis of clinical laboratory data.
  • To utilize non-parametric percentiles for a more detailed and accurate representation of data distributions compared to conventional methods.

Summary:

  • The REN plot employs non-parametric percentiles (median, concentration indicators, central ranges, distribution range) presented in a novel box-and-whisker format.
  • This method was validated using Factor IX activity, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) data, demonstrating precise visualization of both normal and abnormal distributions.

  • Key features include detailed gradient plotting of data densities and robustness against extreme values, ensuring reliable statistical parameters.

    • Impact:

    • The REN plot offers a superior method for statistically analyzing clinical laboratory data, enhancing the precision of data expression.
    • This visualization technique provides a more comprehensive understanding of data variability and distribution, aiding in intra-laboratory quality control and clinical decision-making.
    • The method's resilience to outliers makes it a valuable tool for diverse clinical datasets, improving the reliability of statistical analysis.
