Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Annals of Laboratory Medicine publishes research on laboratory data interoperability and standardization for clinical decision-making and data exchange. It also covers the development and validation of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, including cell population data, monocyte distribution width, and metabolite alterations, particularly in the context of sepsis and other diseases. The journal explores advancements in laboratory testing methodologies, such as eGFR equation performance, antifungal identification, and the impact of pre-analytical factors on assay accuracy, as well as the clinical applications of immune cell assays like natural killer cells and the integration of multi-omics data for transplantation outcomes.
