Abstract:
Objective To analyse the problems presented in external quality assessment (EQA)for blood cytomorphology and propose measures for improvement.Methods Statistical analysis was performed on EQA results for blood cytomorphology from 2011 to 2013 in Shaanxi Province,including general information of participant laboratories,coincident rate,and reported incorrect results.EQA for blood cytomorphology was held two times every year in Shaanxi province,with ten pictures inclu-ding bone marrow and peripheral blood smear each time.The compact disc including twenty pictures was given to partici-pants by EMS.Participants reported two EQA results in April and September each year.The center statisticed the EQA re-sults and provided the EQA reports to every participants in June and November.Results Participating laboratories increased from 76 in 2011 to 163 in 2013.The ratio of laboratories with the coincidence rate≥80% was 80%,47%,44%,55%,77%and 96% respectively.The number for single cell with the coincidence rate≥80% was 38.The coincidence rate of peripheral blood cells was higher than that of the bone marrow on the whole.Causes of incorrect results included cell lines’misclassifi-cation,growth stage’s misclassification,insufficient identification of abnormal cytomorphology,and so on.Conclusion The identification of blood cytomorphology was unbalanced in different leveled hospitals in Shaanxi Province.To develop EQA of blood cytomorphology definitely has a positive role in improving the experimenters’skill of identifying cytomorphology.
