To the Editor:

Myers et al. (1) discuss the importance of creatinine analytical performance in the estimation of the glomerular filtration rate. They correctly specify a model of assay performance but subsequently do not seem to use that model. I suggest a variation of their model that is less subject to misinterpretation. The Myers et al. (1) model is:

Formula 1(1)
where Y is a result of a field creatinine assay, bias is the average bias between Y and a reference method for creatinine measurement, and imprecision includes imprecision sources from short-term (within-run or repeatability) and long-term (within-laboratory or reproducibility) and random patient interferences [called specimen-specific effects by Myers et al. (1)]. Here we refer to the 1st 2 sources . . . [Full Text of this Article]
