dc.description.abstract | Due to a lack of reliable reference intervals (RIs) for Kenya, we set out to determine RIs for 40 common chemistry and immunoassay tests as part of the IFCC global RI project. | en_US |
dc.description.sponsorship | Part of this study was funded by an Aga Khan University Research Council grant awarded to GO (URC Project ID: 1420088A), Medical research council grants awarded to RE (Grant 94261) and MH (Grant 004_94479). PathCare Kenya Ltd. provided resources that facilitated study coordination, sample collection, processing, quality assurance and shipping to the PathCare reference laboratory in Cape town, South Africa. The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. PathCare Kenya Ltd provided support in the form of salaries for authors JM and CW who are its employees, but did not have any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the ‘author contributions’ section. | en_US |
