TI  - [Lot quality assurance sampling: methods and applications in public health].
PG  - 401-8
AB  - Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS), developed to meet industrial quality 
      control needs, has been applied to health surveys. The WHO used this method to 
      assess immunization coverage. The sampling strategy was developed to classify 
      lots as acceptable or unacceptable. Lot sampling is an efficient, simple and 
      time-efficient procedure for quality assurance. Under certain conditions, 
      efficiency can be improved with double sampling. We describe the method and its 
      theoretical basis and illustrate applications of LQAS in epidemiological 
      surveillance and quality control of medical records. The advantages and 
      disadvantages of this method are presented.
