Abstract
Recently the standdization of the clinico-pathological tests became very important in laboratory medicine, because there were too much their methods to evaluate accurately. Accordingly we established a team for the Co-operative study about that theme in the National Hospitals of the Ministry of Health and Welfare on April 1st 1963.
A standing committee for the planning and arrangement of that study was made, and we divided in next five groups; physiology, biochemistry, hematology, serology and histopathology, as our research field was so wide. Due to the bylaw determined by the committee, we collected data and compared each result sent from hospitals, using control serum or blind test methods, and discussed eagerly in our committee from a standpoint of standardization.
Through three years study, several instructful results for promoting the standardization in methodology, were obtained as the following reports show.
As a reprensenter of this studying team, the author is grateful to the National Hospital Section of the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare, and all related staffs and members, for the kind advice and help on the completion of this report.
