Studies of fibrinogen measurement in the CAP survey program.
A review of the College of American Pathologists' Surveys experience in fibrinogen testing from 1967 to 1974 is reported. Trends in fibrinogen methodology and the emergence of a consensus choice of the modified thrombin time method are documented. The reasons for these changes from former methods are discussed.
