Background: Using cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart, we address two questions: (i) Over time, how will an EUS‐FNA (endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration) service maintain an acceptable non‐diagnostic rate defined as technical failures, unsatisfactory specimens and atypical and suspicious diagnoses? (ii) Over time, how will EUS‐FNA maintain acceptable diagnostic errors (false‐positives plus false‐negative diagnosis)? Methods: The study included all consecutive patients who underwent EUS‐FNA at our institution from July 2000 to October 2003 and were followed up until December 2004. Using a simple spread sheet, we designed CUSUM charts and used them to track trends and assess performance at a preset acceptable rate of 10% and a preset unacceptable rate of 15% for non‐diagnostic rate and diagnostic errors. We assessed all cases collectively and then in groups defined by site, size and cytopathologist. Results: Of 876 patients undergoing EUS‐FNA, 83 (9.5%) had non‐diagnostic results: 43 (51%) of these diagnoses were ‘atypical’, 27(33%) were ‘suspicious for malignancy’, eight (10%) were ‘insufficient material for diagnosis’ and five (6%) were ‘technical failure’. In 585 cases with adequate follow up, there were 26 (6.3%) diagnostic errors: three (0.5%) were false positive and 23 (3.1) were false negative. The overall CUSUM charts for both non‐diagnostic rate and for diagnostic error rate start with a small period of learning then cross to a significantly acceptable level at case numbers 121 and 97 respectively. Our diagnostic performance was better in lymph nodes than in the pancreas and other organs and was not significantly different for lesions ≤25 mm compared with lesion >25 mm in diameter. Performance was better for pathologists with prior experience than for pathologists without experience. Conclusion: In the current climate of proficiency testing, error tracking and competence evaluation, there is a great potential for the use of CUSUM charts to assess procedure failure and error tracking in quality control programs, particularly when a new procedure such as EUS‐FNA is introduced in the laboratory. Additionally, the method can be used to assess trainee competency and to track the proficiency of practicing cytologists.  相似文献

The use of control charts for monitoring schemes in medical context should consider adjustments to incorporate the specific risk for each individual. Some authors propose the use of a risk‐adjusted survival time cumulative sum (RAST CUSUM) control chart to monitor a time‐to‐event outcome, possibly right censored, using conventional survival models, which do not contemplate the possibility of cure of a patient. We propose to extend this approach considering a risk‐adjusted CUSUM chart, based on a cure rate model. We consider a regression model in which the covariates affect the cure fraction. The CUSUM scores are obtained for Weibull and log‐logistic promotion time model to monitor a scale parameter for nonimmune individuals. A simulation study was conducted to evaluate and compare the performance of the proposed chart (RACUF CUSUM) with RAST CUSUM, based on optimal control limits and average run length in different situations. As a result, we note that the RAST CUSUM chart is inappropriate when applied to data with a cure rate, while the proposed RACUF CUSUM chart seems to have similar performance if applied to data without a cure rate. The proposed chart is illustrated with simulated data and with a real data set of patients with heart failure treated at the Heart Institute (InCor), at the University of São Paulo, Brazil.  相似文献

Implementation of a Quality Plan (ISO 9002) In a Regional Tissue Bank   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Quality control and standardized preservation methods are essential in the field of transplantation. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has established a common set of manufacturing, trade and communications standards that are applicable worldwide and that provide the basis of a quality plan for Tissuebreak Banks.The Sectorial Tissue Banking (STB) of the Regional Blood Transfusion Center (RBTC) of Córdoba (Spain) is a non-profit-making tissue bank, established in 1992 to provide tissues for surgical procedures to the hospitals in a regional area. In 1998, the STB as a part of the RBTC embarked upon the path of becoming ISO-certified: after two years of the implementation of the project, STB attained ISO 9002 certification, thus becoming one of the first tissue banks in Europe to achieve this qualification. In this paper we describe the process of becoming ISO-certified, to demonstrate the positive impact that it has had on our entire organization.The assistance of an outside consultant who provided the necessary information for implementing an ISO quality management system was required. The initial improvement was: a well-defined quality manual to address all elements of the ISO 9002 standard, an improved document control system, detailed standard operating procedures (SOPs) and improved employees training processes. A quality committee team and developed quality indicators were created. The internal quality auditing program was established by the selection of employees from a cross-section of the organization, who were trained in internal auditing processes. A formal corrective action system was developed and implemented to facilitate process improvement. The consultant conducted a pre-certification audit, and one month later the certification audit was performed.In conclusion, the implementation of an ISO quality program in the STB has helped our center to establish a control process in the manufacturing of products and services to meet the expectations of our customers, by providing components and services that comply with the national regulatory standards and requirements.  相似文献

Quality control for repeated bioassay runs can be performed by phase II control charts, well-known from industrial quality control. The value of interest is the potency, of which a single value per run is available. Parametric and non-parametric prediction intervals are described to estimate quality control intervals for future re-test runs. Violations against the normal distribution occur in real data frequently, particularly outliers. The non-parametric prediction intervals are limited to not too small sample sizes in both the historical and future sampling phases. Therefore, robust prediction intervals based on winsorization are proposed. R-functions for all prediction intervals are provided.  相似文献

AIMS: An internal positive control for Cryptosporidium and Giardia monitoring was evaluated for use in routine water monitoring quality control. The control, known as ColorSeed C&G (BTF Pty Ltd, Sydney, Australia), is a suspension containing exactly 100 Cryptosporidium oocysts and 100 Giardia cysts that have been modified by attachment of Texas Red to the cell wall, allowing them to be differentiated from unmodified oocysts and cysts. The control enables recovery efficiencies to be determined for every water sample analysed. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 494 water samples were seeded with ColorSeed C&G and with unlabelled Cryptosporidium and Giardia and then analysed. Additionally, the robustness of the ColorSeed labelling was challenged with various chemical treatments. Recoveries were significantly lower for the ColorSeed Texas Red labelled Cryptosporidium and Giardia than recoveries of unlabelled Cryptosporidium and Giardia. However, the differences in recoveries were small. On average ColorSeed Cryptosporidium recoveries were 3.3% lower than unlabelled Cryptosporidium, and ColorSeed Giardia recoveries were 4% lower than unlabelled Giardia. CONCLUSIONS: ColorSeed C&G is suitable for use as an internal positive control for routine monitoring of both treated and raw water samples. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The small differences in recoveries are unlikely to limit the usefulness of ColorSeed C&G as an internal positive control. The ColorSeed labelling was found to be robust after different treatments.  相似文献

This report reviewed the efficacy of nucleic acid testing (NAT), derived from assaying and measuring data, using a Cobass201 system at the Dongguan blood center from 2008 to 2017. During this period, four blood screening models, each reflecting procedure improvements designed to improve residual risk (RR) assessment were assessed. A total of 716 846 blood donors were screened, detecting 1 395 positive by the mixed pool test, which were finally modified to 900 positive cases, after final detection by the separation-single test: detecting 6 HIV cases, 4 HCV cases and 890 HBV cases with a total positive rate of 1.25%. The lowest result was obtained from the twice administered enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) test,used in conjunction with the single Cobas MPX v2.0 model,with rates of: 1/7 405 for HBV, 1/346 020 for HCV and 1/473 934 for HIV, respectively. NAT positive rate is not affected by different screening models. NAT is a recent detection method which can be used to good effect with ELISA, and is a worth while procedure for promoting blood transfusion safety.  相似文献

AimTo examine the application of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Ishikawa diagrams for retrospective evaluation of machine Quality Assurance (QA) performance in radiotherapyBackgroundSPC is a popular method for supplementing the performance of QA techniques in healthcare. This work investigates the applicability of SPC techniques and Ishikawa charts in machine QA.Materials and MethodsSPC has been applied to recommend QA limits on the particular beam parameters using the QUICKCHECKwebline QA portable constancy check device for 6 MV and 10 MV flattened photon beams from the Elekta Versa HD linear accelerator (Linac). Four machine QA parameters – beam flatness, beam symmetry along gun target direction and left-right direction, and beam quality factor (BQF) – were selected for retrospective analysis. Shewhart charts, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) charts and Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) charts were obtained for each parameter. The root causes for a failure in machine QA were broken down into an Ishikawa diagram enabling the user to identify the root cause of error and rectify the problem subsequently.ResultsShewhart charts and EWMA charts applied could detect loss in control in one variable in the 6 MV beams and in all four variables in 10 MV beams. CUSUM charts detected offsets in the readings. The Ishikawa chart exhaustively included the possible errors that lead to loss of control.ConclusionSPC is proven to be effective for detection of loss in control in machine QA. The Ishikawa chart provides the set of probable root causes of machine error useful while troubleshooting.  相似文献

Environmental monitoring is becoming increasingly sophisticated with the widespread adoption of data loggers, sensor arrays and remote sensing, leading to larger scale, higher resolution and superior quality data. However, interpreting monitoring data and deciding when and how to apply environmental management remains a subjective and underdeveloped area of research. Control charts, developed in industrial settings to identify when manufacturing processes were beyond the acceptable bounds of production quality, represent one solution. Despite their potential utility, control charts have rarely been adopted in environmental monitoring. In theory, they are able to identify undesirable trends early and provide transparent and broadly consensual criteria for defining when management action should take place, that is action is triggered when parameter values are observed beyond the agreed control limits of the process. Once triggered, a predetermined management action is implemented. Possible actions are many and varied, and range from investigation and increased monitoring to intervention in the system. Here, the utility of control charts in monitoring water supply in south‐western Australia from 1911 to 2010 is examined, and their ability to provide an early, transparent and easily understandable means of triggering management action is assessed. Two control chart types are applied: the X‐bar chart and the CUSUM chart. X‐bar charts varied widely in their ability to trigger action and were insensitive to many traditional threshold criteria (of which there are many to choose from). In contrast, standard CUSUM charts are specifically designed to detect subtler shifts away from a mean trend and hence provided a more consistent warning of the decline in water supply. While managers were aware of the decline in water supply from an early stage, we believe that control charts could have clearly communicated this earlier, enabling consensus among decision makers to be reached more rapidly.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To use Shewhart control charts to compare variability in inadequacy rates from Papanicolaou (Pap) and liquid-based cytology (LBC). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of quality assurance data. SETTING: Eleven Welsh cytology laboratories. METHODS: Shewhart 'p' charts were plotted for proportions of slides reported as inadequate. Charts were compared for statistical control. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Evidence of statistical control in the processes. RESULTS: Control charts allowed easy interpretation of patterns in the data. Variability in inadequacy rates was much lower for LBC than for Pap cytology. CONCLUSION: Monitoring inadequate rates with Shewhart charts provides more information than tabular monitoring reports, assisting in quality improvement. With respect to inadequacy rates, LBC is less variable than Pap cytology.  相似文献

The complexity of Nucleic acid Amplification Technology (NAT(1)), comprising sample preparation, amplification and detection methods, requires specific design considerations for both the laboratory and the procedures utilized in such testing. The purpose of this paper is to establish technical considerations for the performance of NAT. These include the collection, handling and assay of specimens and the design of laboratories to routinely and reliably detect low levels of nucleic acid sequences. The sensitivity of NAT due to the exponential amplification of nucleic acids makes contamination a major concern from specimen collection to sample detection. Therefore, laboratories need to be designed to prevent and control contamination through adequate equipment and appropriate workflow. These technical considerations should provide a basis for establishing a robust and reproducible NAT system.  相似文献

This work presents the use of Raman spectroscopy and chemometrics for on‐line control of the fermentation process of glucose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In a first approach, an on‐line determination of glucose, ethanol, glycerol, and cells was accomplished using multivariate calibration based on partial least squares (PLS). The PLS models presented values of root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.53, 0.25, and 0.02% for glucose, ethanol and glycerol, respectively, and RMSEP of 1.02 g L?1 for cells. In a second approach, multivariate control charts based on multiway principal component analysis (MPCA) were developed for detection of fermentation fault‐batch. Two multivariate control charts were developed, based on the squared prediction error (Q) and Hotelling's T2. The use of the Q control chart in on‐line monitoring was efficient for detection of the faults caused by temperature, type of substrate and contamination, but the T2 control chart was not able to monitor these faults. On‐line monitoring by Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with chemometric procedures allows control of the fermentative process with advantages in relation to reference methods, which require pretreatment, manipulation of samples and are time consuming. Also, the use of multivariate control charts made possible the detection of faults in a simple way, based only on the spectra of the system. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

An evaluation of the programmes for control and monitoring of water quality in Sweden has demonstrated many short-comings. This paper discusses how improvements can be achieved by using new limnological knowledge.High-frequency sampling and analysis of mixed samples gives reliable average values with reduced costs. Strong correlations between, for instance, summer average values and summer maximum values, can be used for predicting the worst possible situation, which would be difficult to analyse by low-frequency sampling. Phosphorus load and lake response relationships are valuable tools for lake management and for establishing water quality criteria in physical planning. Future control may be further improved if limnological research gives better information on relationships between structure and function of aquatic ecosystems in relation to the form and size of the water body, water flushing rate, inputs from watershed and air space, etc.  相似文献

Designs of the double sampling (DS) chart are traditionally based on the average run length (ARL) criterion. However, the shape of the run length distribution changes with the process mean shifts, ranging from highly skewed when the process is in-control to almost symmetric when the mean shift is large. Therefore, we show that the ARL is a complicated performance measure and that the median run length (MRL) is a more meaningful measure to depend on. This is because the MRL provides an intuitive and a fair representation of the central tendency, especially for the rightly skewed run length distribution. Since the DS chart can effectively reduce the sample size without reducing the statistical efficiency, this paper proposes two optimal designs of the MRL-based DS chart, for minimizing (i) the in-control average sample size (ASS) and (ii) both the in-control and out-of-control ASSs. Comparisons with the optimal MRL-based EWMA and Shewhart charts demonstrate the superiority of the proposed optimal MRL-based DS chart, as the latter requires a smaller sample size on the average while maintaining the same detection speed as the two former charts. An example involving the added potassium sorbate in a yoghurt manufacturing process is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed MRL-based DS chart in reducing the sample size needed.  相似文献
