Reference-table workshop: comparable quantities and missing context · RESEARCH-21408

Case 54 — Assay-specific reference ranges: what must travel with a result? · comparison exercise

Limit of the answer in “Assay-specific reference ranges: what must travel with a result?”: “Retain units, method, laboratory interval and collection context…” is an excerpt from the discussion, not an independent verification. A reader needs the relevant original material before treating an interpretation as established. Review focus: comparison. Make the basis of a comparison explicit before interpreting it.

Case 54 — Assay-specific reference ranges: what must travel with a result? · comparison exercise

Correction note for “Assay-specific reference ranges: what must travel with a result?”: retain the wording beginning “Retain units, method, laboratory interval and collection context…” in the record. If later material changes it, add the date, the changed wording and the source for that change; do not invent a completed correction here. Make the basis of a comparison explicit before interpreting it.
