Laboratory reference intervals in the assessment of iron status in young children

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

Clinical laboratories may consider adopting published paediatric reference intervals. Reference intervals may misclassify (underestimate) children with iron deficiency as compared with currently recommended cut-off values. Future research on decision limits derived from clinical studies of outcomes is a priority.
