International Sensitivity Index (ISI) Quick values measured with different thromboplastins cannot be directly compared with each other as, for example, sensitivity to clotting factors may differ. To make clotting times as comparable as possible, the WHO approved a reference standard thromboplastin in 1983. All thromboplastin manufacturers must calibrate their reagent against the WHO standard (there are two references: one for recombinant human thromboplastins and one for rabbit brain thromboplastins). The value obtained is known as the “international sensitivity index” (ISI). This allows the different sensitivities of thromboplastins to be known and is used to calculate the INR. WHO recommends that…

Regarding the latter, recent history in our discipline has given us reliable evidence of how the logical confusion that underlies the theoretical approaches of many authors translates into a conceptual confusion, another methodological one and, finally, one of interpretation. Examples on the…
