Resumen
Cinco abordagens estatísticas foram aplicadas para avaliar o desempenho dos participantes em 19 rodadas (2007-2011) do Programa de Ensaio de Proficiência para determinação de chumbo em sangue (PEP-Pbs), organizado pelo Instituto Adolfo Lutz. A avaliação de desempenho foi realizada utilizando-se o índice-z, e as seguintes abordagens estatísticas foram testadas: 1 - média e desvio padrão, após a exclusão dos valores dispersos; 2 - mediana e intervalo interquartil normalizado; 3 - média robusta e desvio padrão robusto; 4 - média robusta e desvio padrão de proficiência de 3 μg/100 mL (para concentrações de até 40 μg/100 mL) e desvio padrão de proficiência de 7,5 % do valor designado (para concentrações superiores a 40 μg/100 mL); 5 - média robusta, desvio padrão de proficiência de 2 μg/100 mL (para concentrações de até 40 μg/100 mL) e desvio padrão de proficiência de 5 % do valor designado (para concentrações acima de 40 μg/100 mL). A abordagem 4 mostrouser mais adequada para avaliar o desempenho dos laboratórios participantes do PEP-Pbs.Citas
