Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Pediatric Reference Intervals

The Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Pediatric Reference Intervals (CALIPER) is a nation-wide health initiative to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of children and adolescents with medical concerns. Our main objective is to establish a comprehensive database of reference intervals for blood test results in children and adolescents. CALIPER is designed to fill the gaps that currently exist in accurately interpreting blood test results with the ultimate goal of improving the care of children at SickKids and other children’s hospitals around the world.
