Estimates of Within-Subject Biological Variation Derived from Pathology Databases: An Approach to Allow Assessment of the Effects of Age, Sex, Time between Sample Collections, and Analyte Concentration on Reference Change Values [General Clinical Chemistry]

DISCUSSION: The process described here has allowed rapid and simple production of CVI data. The technique requires no patient intervention and replicates the clinical environment, although it may not be universally applicable. Additionally, the effect of regression to the mean described here may allow better interpretation of sequential patient results.
