Study establishes pediatric reference intervals for 47 hematologic parameters

In a study published in American Journal of Clinical Pathology, fresh whole blood samples were collected from 566 healthy children and adolescents (birth to <21 years). The samples were analyzed for 47 hematologic parameters on the Beckman Coulter DxH 900. Age- and sex-specific reference standards were calculated based on the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines.

The study’s findings:

Established a robust database of pediatric reference standards for 47 hematologic parameters in the Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Pediatric Reference Intervals (CALIPER) cohort for the first time
Along with accompanying publication containing hematologic Reference Intervals (RIs) on the Beckman Coulter DxH 900¹, have the potential to address gaps in pediatric RIs for hematologic parameters and, as a result, improve the accuracy of laboratory result interpretation and clinical decision making in children and adolescents
