The data presented show cutoffs that are roughly equivalent to each other in terms of positivity rates in ever pregnant donors. The data is organized based on increasing One Lambda LABScreen Mixed NBG cutoff values that are currently in use by laboratories across the U.S.

a

Manufacturer’s suggested cutoff for organ transplantation;

b

Reported cutoff used by blood bank laboratories 21;

c

Cutoff used by Vassallo et al. 25;

d

REDS-II LAPS serum adjusted cutoff 17,29;

e

Percent positive may differ from that reported in Table 2 as calculations are based on the latent variable score and not observed values.
