Cumulative score information Total number of specimens sent to you for UK NEQAS for Diagnostic serology hepatitis over the last 2 distributions is 6 For these distributions specimen numbers 4045 4046 4047 4363 4364 4365 have been sent. Number of specimens received too late for analysis (not scored) 0 Your cumulative score for the specimen/test combinations that you reported was 32 out of a possible 32 The mean score calculated from the reports returned by UK laboratories testing the specimen/test combinations you examined was 31.71 with a standard error of 1.26. Performance rating Your performance rating for UK NEQAS for Diagnostic serology hepatitis (i.e.the number of standard errors by which your cumulative score lies above or below the mean for UK laboratories) is 0.23 A performance rating of more than 1.96 standard errors below the mean indicates possible poor performance. Your performance rating may change if other participants' results are amended.
Comments : Overall 99.5% of participants reported correct results for HAV IgM, 99.3% for CMV IgM and 98.3% for acute EBV markers. Turn around time: The time taken to report your results was 0-day(s). This information is provided for your own use and does not form part of your performance assessment. Enquiries : Any queries about this distribution can be addressed to Dr Beatrix Kele at the address below. For repeat specimens please order using the web form or e-mail [email protected] stating your laboratory identification number, the distribution name and number, and the specimen number(s). Acknowledgments : We thank colleagues at the PHE-NIS-Public Health Laboratory Southampton, Manchester and Bristol; Royal Free Hospital, London and Department of Microbiology, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital for help with pre-distribution testing.
