The influence of calibration on bias in quality control and patient results for TSH on Vitros XT 7600 analyzer.
Introduction: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a glycoprotein secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and is regulated by negative feedback from the serum free thyroid hormones. In this study we aimed to quantitate the relative bias caused by calibration drifting as seen in our TSH Levey-Jennings quality control (QC) charts and assess the magnitude of bias on patients' samples.
Materials and methods: In the period from October 2021 to August 2022 we looked at the QC results of ten 28-days' calibration time intervals and calculated relative bias compared to the mean. For each time interval the mean from three QC points before and after calibration was calculated. The average from 10 pre- and post-calibration means was calculated and the relative bias, pre- and post-calibration, was then calculated. We used 5 patient samples with low, normal and high TSH concentrations and calculated relative bias pre- and post-calibration. The allowed relative bias for TSH is ± 6.7%.
Results: At both QC levels, with the respective means of 5.14 mIU/L (coefficient of variation, CV% = 3.1%) and 27.80 mIU/L (CV% = 3.2%) had their respective relative bias - 8.2% and - 7.9%. The patient samples with low (0.586 mIU/L), normal (2.89 mIU/L and 5.19 mIU/L) and high (20.5 mIU/L and 39.8 mIU/L) TSH had - 4.1%, - 4.0%, - 3.5%, - 5.1% and - 4.1%, respectively.
Conclusion: Even though the relative bias exceeded allowable criteria for the QC samples, this was not manifested on the patients' samples.
