Background: To date, only a few studies have focused on the standardization of the calcitonin assay, despite the fact that a lack of standardization of assays can lead to discrepancy in results. Here, we analyzed the concordance in serum calcitonin test results using three different assays. Methods: The serum calcitonin levels in 104 residual specimens collected between January and February 2020 were measured using three different systems. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients and the slopes and y-intercepts were assessed to derive all possible pairs of analyzers. The agreement of classification according to a clinically relevant cut-off was also evaluated using Cohen’s kappa coefficient. Results: The correlation coefficients for Cob...
