• Belgian EQAS in Coagulation
• Survey 2008/3
Belgian EQAS in Coagulation
• 3 surveys per year• 3 lyophilized plasmas per survey screened
for hep B, hep C, syphilis and HIV 1 & 2• For PT testing:
- artificially depleted plasmas - pools of plasma samples from patients
treated with oral anticoagulants • Participation is mandatory
Belgian EQAS in Coagulation
• Statistical evaluation by a non-parametricapproach: method of Tukey
• Report of individual results• Unacceptable result:
outside ± 2 SD of method median value• Discussion of results within the advisory board• Global report

Survey 2006/3
• to assess the practices in INR testing in the Belgian and Luxembourg laboratories
• to determine the extent to whichrecommendations and guidelines are followed

Recommended to•use 0.105-0.109 mol/L trisodium citrate as anticoagulant•use homogeneous test systems (reagent/instrument)•determine the system-specific MNPT

Survey 2008/3
Repeat the study of 2006/3 to evaluate:
• whether the tendency to decrease of the overall CV could be confirmed
• and if so, if this could be related to changes in methodology
Survey 2008/3: Samples
3 pools of plasma samples frompatients on oral anticoagulants

Pool/Lyophilized plasma…• Validation of INR
CLSI (H54)
• Validation of current INR testing should beperformed in each laboratory
• Minimum of 3 certified plasmas with a range of INRs between 1.5 and 4.5
• Validation should take place with any change in reagent, reagent lot number, instrument or following a major instrument repair
• INR obtained using the local system shouldcompare to the assigned INR value of the certified plasmas by +/- 15%
Validation of INR (n=172)
47 laboratoires (27.3%) mentionned validatingthe accuracy of their INR results
However: the majority of those laboratories refer toa validation of the accuracy of theirINR results by means of IQC
4 of them refer to participation in EQAS
ConclusionsInsights into the current practices in PT testing in Belgium and Luxembourg
All laboratories use low-ISI thromboplastins
High diversity of techniquesDifferent techniques yield different resultsWithin a given technique: small CVNo technique is significantly better than another
Compared to 2006/3: improvement of overall CVindicating a closer agreement between the INR results of the different laboratories

Conclusions: Methodologies
• 95.1 % of the laboratories use 0.105-0.109 mol/L trisodium citrate as anticoagulant
• 93.1% of the laboratories use homogeneous test systems (reagent/instrument) ↔ 83.6% in 2006
• 46.6% determine the system-specific MNPT ↔37.3% in 2006
Validation of INR: Need for guidelines and control materials
