A Parametric Empirical Bayes Approach to Personalized Reference Intervals and Reference Change Values
Clin Chem. 2025 Aug 22:hvaf092. doi: 10.1093/clinchem/hvaf092. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Population-wide reference intervals (RIpop) are commonly used in laboratory medicine but may not reflect an individual’s tightly regulated homeostatic interval. Personalized reference intervals (RIper) could enhance diagnostic precision by accounting for individual variability. A parametric empirical Bayes (PEB) framework stabilizes individual estimates … Read more
