Comparability, compatibility, equivalence and interchangeability: metrological concepts widely misunderstood in laboratory medicineRaúl Rigo-Bonninon January 9, 2026 at 11:00 am

January 9, 2026 by ccinfoadmin

Clin Chem Lab Med. 2026 Jan 12. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2025-1644. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Method-comparison studies in laboratory medicine are routinely interpreted using regression-based or Bland-Altman analyses. Although useful descriptively, these statistical procedures are frequently misapplied to infer “agreement”, “equivalence”, or “interchangeability”. Such interpretations overlook essential metrological conditions – including the definition of the … Read more
