ABSTRACT

Hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis data can be among the most difficult data within a given study to evaluate, interpret and report. While the guidelines on how to write this section should give you some ideas on how to evaluate data, there is significant information on this subject that cannot be obtained herein. Also, because complete and thoughtful assessment of these data can be a trying process even for those specifically trained in clinical pathology, and because so many of us who must work with it are not trained in this area, a few words on the philosophy of data evaluation seem to be in order.
