Reference Values for 30 Common Biochemistry Analytes Across 5 Different Analyzers in Neonates and Children 30 Days to 18 Years of Age [Pediatric Clinical Chemistry]

CONCLUSIONS:
This study provides quantitative and qualitative measures of the extent to which results for individual children can or cannot be compared across analyzer types, and the feasibility of RI harmonization. The reported equations enable incorporation of age-specific RIs into laboratory information systems for improving evidence-based clinical decisions in children.
