| Remarks | The Programme aims to assess the performance of organisations utilising biochemical markers to aid in the diagnosis of pre-eclampsia in pregnancy. The programme aim is to cover the clinically relevant range, i.e. PlGF < 12 pg/ml to ≥100 pg/ml and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio of < 33 to > 110. However, the analytical measuring range will also be assessed where appropriate. The programme is suitable for both Laboratory and POCT applications. Three liquid human samples are distributed monthly, with a minimum of 36 samples distributed over the year covering a wide clinically relevant range. The samples consist of endogenous samples from patients along with a panel of linearly related samples produced from donations from healthy volunteers spiked with PlGF and sFlt-1. They are distributed on a number of occasions over that period which allows for the assessment of the organisation’s and method’s performance, including linearity, bias, within and between batch imprecision. Post – analytical interpretation of pre-eclampsia risk outcome is also assessed. Key Features: - Samples cover analytical and clinical range for sFlt-1 & PIGF. - Post-analytical interpretation of pre-eclampsia risk outcome assessed. - Programme suitable for Lab and POCT applications. - Liquid human samples require no pre-analytical preparation.
