Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Patient-based real-time quality control (PBRTQC), a laboratory tool for monitoring the performance of the testing process, has gained increasing attention in recent years. It has been questioned for its generalizability among analytes, instruments, laboratories, and hospitals in real-world settings. Our purpose was to build a machine learning, nonlinear regression-adjusted, patient-based real-time quality control (mNL-PBRTQC) with wide application.
