Overview

Supports standardized samples for anticardiolipin assays; leaves open effects on clinical decisions in antiphospholipid syndrome.

Structured PICO

P
Population
43 laboratories in 13 countries participating in a standardization workshop for anticardiolipin tests
I
Intervention
Use of six freeze-dried reference standards (G1, G2, G3 for IgG; M1, M2, M3 for IgM) for semiquantitative measurement of anticardiolipin positivity
O
Outcome
Index of agreement between laboratories for IgG and IgM anticardiolipin resultssurrogate

The use of standardized reference samples for anticardiolipin testing enables excellent interlaboratory agreement.
