摘要: Retest reliability for plasma cholesterol and triglyceride is important diagnostically in the planning of studies. Coefficients variation about 8% 25% are reported here during Visits 1 2 Lipid Research Clinics Prevalence Study 1972-1975. showed little or no dependence on other factors studied. It would not be unusual to observe apparent changes 50 mg/dl occasionally 100 with obvious explanation. Apparent random may as high several hundred mg/dl. clinical importance that two thirds persons upper quintile and/or at first measurement remain this rank one third lower retest. Multiple observations these lipid values recommended both use establishment study baselines.
