基于数学模型的ID-LC-MS/MS法测量血清17α-羟孕酮的不确定度评定

    Uncertainty Evaluation for 17α-Hydroxyprogesterone in Human Serum Measured by Isotope Dilution Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Based on Mathematical Model

    • 摘要: 17α-羟孕酮是先天性肾上腺皮质增生症筛查及治疗监测的特异性诊断指标,其准确测量对于疾病的早期诊断和治疗至关重要。测量不确定度的评定是定量检测中不可或缺的环节。基于前期建立的同位素稀释液相色谱-串联质谱(ID-LC-MS/MS)17α-羟孕酮参考方法,通过构建数学模型,依据《测量不确定度表示指南》(GUM),系统评定了ID-LC-MS/MS测量血清17α-羟孕酮的不确定度。血清17α-羟孕酮定量分析的不确定度来源于测量过程中的多个环节,主要包括标准曲线配制、样品复溶、加样过程中由天平、容量瓶、移液器、密度计等计量器具引入的不确定度,以及样品瓶间差、复溶温度变化、重复测量、校准品纯度、线性拟合等因素。依据数学模型在计算各分量的不确定度后,将所有分量合并为合成标准不确定度和扩展不确定度,为ID-LC-MS/MS方法的不确定度评估提供了参考。

       

      Abstract: 17α-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is a specific diagnostic marker for the screening and therapeutic monitoring of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Its accurate measurement is crucial for the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The evaluation of measurement uncertainty is an indispensable component of quantitative analysis. This study builds upon a previously established reference method for 17-OHP using isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LC-MS/MS). By constructing a mathematical model and following the (ISO/IEC Guide98-3: Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement, GUM: 1995), we systematically assessed the uncertainty associated with the measurement of serum 17-OHP using isotope dilution mass spectrometry. The uncertainty of quantitative analysis of serum 17α-hydroxyprogesterone stems from multiple links in the measurement process, mainly including the preparation of the standard curve, sample reconstitution, and the pipetting process, which involve uncertainties from instruments such as balances, volumetric flasks, pipettes, and densitometers. Additional uncertainties arise from factors such as inter-bottle variability, temperature fluctuations during reconstitution, repeat measurements, calibrator purity, and linear fitting. After calculating the uncertainty of each component based on the mathematical model, all components were combined to determine the combined standard uncertainty and expanded uncertainty. This study provides a reference for uncertainty evaluation in similar methods in clinical laboratories.
