Indirect estimation of serum enzymes reference intervals in adults using the reflimR and refineR algorithms

ReflimR provides a practical approach for indirect RIs estimation from routine data. Its performance was comparable to refineR and parametric methods, supporting its use for verifying or updating local RIs, especially where population-specific RIs are unavailable. To our knowledge, this is the first study to apply reflimR to the Turkish population and directly compare its performance with refineR and IFUs.

Abstract

ReflimR provides a practical approach for indirect RIs estimation from routine data. Its performance was comparable to refineR and parametric methods, supporting its use for verifying or updating local RIs, especially where population-specific RIs are unavailable. To our knowledge, this is the first study to apply reflimR to the Turkish population and directly compare its performance with refineR and IFUs.
