Currently, neurochemical dementia diagnostics (NDD) are increasingly entering routine clinical neurochemistry, offering improved early and differential diagnosis of dementias. However, there is an obvious lack of standardization in pre-analytical sample handling and systematic quality surveys. Therefore, in this study, 14 laboratories in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland were given aliquots of a human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample, and were asked to measure Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers (amyloid beta (Abeta) peptides, total Tau protein, and phosphorylated Tau protein (P-tau(181P))) according to their routine protocols.
The inter-laboratory coefficients of variation of the results obtained by the laboratories participating in this study were in the range of 20-30%. Although the results of this quality control survey are promising, the quality of measurements has to be further optimized.
目前,神经化学痴呆诊断(NDD)正越来越多地进入常规临床神经化学领域,为痴呆症提供了更好的早期诊断和鉴别诊断。然而,在分析前样本处理和系统质量调查方面明显缺乏标准化。因此,在本研究中,德国、奥地利和瑞士的14个实验室收到了一份人类脑脊液(CSF)样本的等分试样,并被要求根据其常规方案测量阿尔茨海默病(AD)生物标志物(淀粉样β(Aβ)肽、总 Tau 蛋白和磷酸化 Tau 蛋白(P-tau(181P)))。
参与本研究的实验室所获得结果的实验室间变异系数在20%至30%之间。尽管此次质量控制调查的结果很有前景,但测量质量仍需进一步优化。
