Abstract
Reference intervals are used in laboratory medicine to detect measurements which are extreme, possibly abnormal. Methods of estimating reference intervals and age-specific reference intervals (where the measurement is dependent on a covariate, typically age) are reviewed. The issues of calculating confidence bands, determining appropriate sample sizes and assessing goodness-of-fit are discussed.
