Clare’s
done some science again. She’s rather good at it. Schistocyte counts… You can
see the ICSH recommendations on the matter by clicking here.
I
won’t repeat what Clare has said – she’s said it far better than I could, and
you can read it by
clicking here anyway.
But
I will make an observation… what is an acceptable measurement of uncertainty?
Am I being utterly unreasonable in thinking that in numerical terms a
schistocyte count won’t be a million miles from a parasitaemia count? Look at
the most recent malaria NEQAS – we made the answer 0.2. Plenty of other people
made the answer double or triple that number. What is an acceptable measurement
of uncertainty?
