ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Bone status indices (BSIs) are increasingly used in metabolic bone disease, yet global laboratory practices remain poorly characterized. Building on recent IOF-IFCC nomenclature and ESCEO-IOF-IFCC recommendations, we conducted an international descriptive survey of BSI practices. METHODS: A cross-sectional web-based questionnaire … Read more

Clin Chem Lab Med. 2026 Aug 7. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2026-0949. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Integrated diagnostics is an emerging multidisciplinary model of care that integrates traditionally siloed domains, including pathology, radiology, genomics, and laboratory medicine, into a coordinated framework designed to improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment selection, and clinical outcomes. In this position statement, the EFLM … Read more

Clin Chem Lab Med. 2026 Aug 6. doi: 10.1515/cclm-2026-0428. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of meropenem is critical for optimizing clinical efficacy and minimizing toxicity. We describe the validation of an isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS) candidate reference measurement procedure (RMP) for the quantification of meropenem in human serum … Read more
