Data on the relationship between acetone, ethylene glycol, isopropanol, methanol, and propylene glycol serum/plasma concentrations and osmolal gaps in patients at an academic medical center

Data on the frequency and causes of icteric interference in clinical chemistry laboratory tests

“…All data was obtained from patient data in the electronic medical record from the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (Iowa City, Iowa, United States). A reporting tool within the electronic medical record, known as Epic Reporting Workbench [14] , was used to retrieve data for 114 clinical chemistry tests performed in the retrospective timeframe. Only data from patients who had clinical chemistry testing performed at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics were included; no data was obtained from diagnostic vendors of any of the laboratory assays used for clinical testing.…”

Data on the Relationships of Signal-To-Cutoff Ratios of Elecsys HIV Antigen/Antibody and Elecsys Syphilis Assays to Subsequent Confirmatory Testing at an Academic Medical Center

“…All data was obtained from patient data in the electronic medical record from the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (Iowa City, Iowa, United States). A reporting tool within the electronic medical record, known as Epic Reporting Workbench [16] , was used to identify all syphilis and HIV screening tests performed in the retrospective timeframes. Only data from patients who had syphilis or HIV testing performed at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics were included; no data was obtained from diagnostic vendors of any of the laboratory assays used for clinical testing.…”

Data on the relationship between lamotrigine and levetiracetam serum/plasma levels and toxicity: Experience at an academic medical center

“…Starting July 9, 2011, lamotrigine and levetiracetam were analyzed at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics central clinical laboratory by enzyme immunoassay (ARK Diagnostics Lamotrigine Assay and Levetiracetam Reagent, respectively) on Roche Diagnostics c502 analyzers. Epic Reporting Workbench (RWB) [19] , a reporting tool within the electronic medical record, was used to capture all cases where lamotrigine or levetiracetam drug levels had been performed within the retrospective timeframe. For the instances where the lamotrigine drug level was greater than 14.0 mg/L or the levetiracetam drug level was 80 mg/L or higher, the authors performed detailed chart review for the indication for ordering the specific drug level, clinical signs and symptoms at time of drug level, timing of drug level, changes in drug dosing following the drug level, concomitant valproic acid prescription at time of drug level (for lamotrigine cohort only), details on instances of intentional or accidental drug overdose, and details on patient deaths that occurred during inpatient admission as a high lamotrigine or levetiracetam drug level.…”
