Gender related reference intervals

Gender related reference intervals for thawed serum.

The reference intervals is calculated for both gender for all components with and without quality goals used as

explained here.

For most of the components there are two rows, one (black) where all the reference values are used without applying quality goals, and one with quality goals used (the % deleted are shown in last column). “Target” is the target value for CAL used, “Median” is the median of the distribution and “Lower” and “Upper” is the lower and upper reference limit respectively. N is the number of data used.

It is interesteng to note the marginal importence of applying quality goals for rejecting data.
