By harmonizing measurement requirements, funders may implement more effective pan-organizational strategies for achieving targeted health outcomes while reducing the reporting burden on the organizations they fund [ 26].
To minimize measurement error and misclassification of participants that can result from differences in glucose measurement over time, we harmonized measurements performed before 2010 with those obtained contemporaneously.
Throughout the process of harmonizing ecological measurements from diverse lake datasets, we were confronted with unanticipated challenges.
Quantitative ELISAs were identified that accurately measured each allergen, except for rPhl p 1. The CREATE project has provided a major step forward in allergen standardization and provides a model for the development of a comprehensive panel of international reference preparations that will harmonize allergen measurements worldwide.
The International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA, www.iaea.org) promotes a scientifically based international code of practice for dosimetry in diagnostic radiology, which standardizes and harmonizes the measurement of dose and dose indicators in this field, including guidance for direct measurement on patients or phantoms and indirect measurements on patients or phantoms.
Relationships among portable scanning mobility particle sizer (P-SMPS), condensation particle counter (CPC), and surface area monitor (SAM), which are different metric measurement devices, were investigated, and two widely used research grade (RG -SMPSs weRG -SMPSsed to harmonize the measurement protocols.
The Diabetes Antibody Standardization Program (DASP) was established to assess proficiency and harmonize the measurement of islet autoantibodies in laboratories throughout the world, as well as evaluate novel antibody assay developments (1– 4).
The European Association Research Ltd EARLL) accreditation program [15] is an SUV harmonization strategy aiming at minimizing the variability in SUV measurements by harmonizing patient preparation and scan acquisition and processing [16].
When using SUV as a diagnostic [ 8, 9] or prognostic [ 10, 11] tool (i.e. single measurement) or for therapy monitoring (i.e. longitudinal studies) in multicentre trials or in sites equipped with multiple scanners, one needs to minimize the variability in semi-quantitative measurements by harmonizing both patient preparation in the PET unit and acquisition and reconstruction parameters [ 12– 12].
The harmonized, standardized anthropometric measurements were strictly monitored.
