Abstract
Background: The national programs for the harmonization of hemoglobin (Hb)A1c measurements in the US [National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP)], Japan [Japanese Diabetes Society (JDS)/Japanese Society of Clinical Chemistry (JSCC)], and Sweden are based on different designated comparison methods (DCMs). The future basis for international standardization will be the reference system developed by the IFCC Working Group on HbA1c Standardization. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationships between the IFCC Reference Method (RM) and the DCMs.This publication has 36 references indexed in Scilit:
