Aim: We established an external quality control (QC) program for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) for a collaborative epidemiological study.<BR>Methods: External QC was performed 3 times in 3 years to follow hs-CRP performance for precision and accuracy.<BR>Results: For precision, the mean coefficient of variation (CV) of the internal QC by 9 laboratories was 2.2% and 1.9% in the 1st and 2nd tests, respectively. The mean CV of the external QC by 4 laboratories was 2.7% in the three tests. The CV of both the internal and external QC satisfied the acceptable range specified by the AHA/CDC Scientific Statement, CV < 10%. For accuracy, the mean values of the 1st external QC by 9 laboratories were set as the consensus value and the acceptable range was set to within ± 10% from it. The mean accuracy by 9 laboratories was 0.51% in the 2nd external QC. The mean accuracy by 4 laboratories was – 0.37% in the 3rd external QC. These findings demonstrated that the initial consensus value was valid in the continued external QC, and hs-CRP was stable for 3 years.<BR>Conclusion: We demonstrated both the precision and accuracy of hs-CRP by an external QC program applied for 3 years in a collaborative epidemiological study.
