Abstract

In this research, we will be assessing the general health status of the
Sarajevo Canton residents by analyzing the biochemical test results for the
samples from the study cohort collected in 2021 for the following testing panels:
lipid panel, liver panel, thyroid panel, electrolyte panel, and prostate panel.
Along with the biochemical components that are tested, their physiological
importance and consequences of deregulation, we are introducing the reasons
for ordering the tests, as well as potential findings and conclusions from the
testing results. Devices that were used for this research are Gesan Chem 200
(Gesan Production, Campobello di Mazara, Italy) and Architect 1000 (Abbot,
Chicago, IL), both operated according to manufacturer’s instructions. The
collection of demographic data and test results was performed through usage of
Laboratory Information System (LIS). Test results of the study participants
were compared with referent values, as provided for the population average.
Initial results were summarized and compared through descriptive statistics,
while the exact test of goodness-of-fit was used to assess the compliance of
observed data with expected referent values. Demographic trends, in terms of
which sex and/or age group are more likely to have any tested parameter
deregulated, either increased or decreased, are presented and discussed in
detail. Finally, recommendations for future testing and prophylaxis are given.
