Currently, many pediatric laboratory test results are inappropriately interpreted using reference intervals derived from either adult populations, hospitalized pediatric populations, or from outdated methodologies. Age-specific reference intervals are extremely important for interpreting measurements in the pediatric population but, unfortunately, there are very few studies that provide reference intervals using robust, statistically sound studies and well-characterized healthy populations.

In this webinar, Dr. Khosrow Adeli discusses how to best overcome the challenges involved in establishing reference intervals for proper clinical interpretation of pediatric lab results, aiding the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric patients.

Key learning objectives

• Describe the challenges of interpreting diagnostic tests for children
• Explain how pediatric reference intervals can be established for your laboratory
• Appreciate how pediatric reference intervals lead to successful diagnosis and treatment

Who should attend?

Laboratory professionals and clinicians treating children in routine care or involved in disease state management.
