Medical utility frequency

K Castaneda-Mendez

Judging the medical acceptability and comparing the medical utility of laboratory methods requires standards for reproducibility with regard to medical performance. A completely general and flexible performance standard for reproducibility consists of the reproducibility criterion, the allowable error, and the concentration value. Neither precision, accuracy, nor total error correctly addresses this standard. The medical utility frequency of a method does do so, however, its use making method evaluation and comparison simple, completely flexible, and exact.
