Sigma Metric Evaluation of Hematological Parameters: A Retrospective Quality Assessment
Sigma metric analysis is a valuable tool for assessing analytical performance in hematology. While high-performing parameters can follow simpler QC protocols (e.g., 13s rule), marginal parameters necessitate stricter multi-rule QC. Overall, adopting parameter-specific sigma-based QC enhances laboratory reliability and efficiency.
