Determining age-specific reference intervals for pathology tests in children using normative data collected in multiple paediatric centres in Victoria, Australia [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Reference interval is an important clinical assessment tool defined by a rage within which 95% of the population fall. The process of constructing paediatric reference intervals are complex due the inadequate blood volume, changes in biomarker with age, variation due to instruments and statistical methods used for determining reference intervals. Addressing these gaps, this project will determine age-specific paediatric reference intervals for 30 biochemistry biomarkers.
