      ab: Background In clinical laboratories, the precision and sensitivity of autoverification technologies are crucial for ensuring reliable diagnostics. Conventional methods have limited sensitivity and applicability, making error detection challenging and reducing laboratory efficiency. This study introduces a machine learning (ML)-based autoverification technology to enhance tumor marker test error detection. Methods The effectiveness of various ML models was evaluated by analyzing a large data set of 397 751 for model training and internal validation and 215 339 for external validation. Sample misidentification was simulated by random shuffling error-free test results with a 1% error rate to achieve a real-world approximation. The ML models were developed with Bayesian optimization for tuning. Model validation was performed internally at the primary institution and externally at other institutions, comparing the ML models' performance with conventional delta check methods. Results Deep neural networks and extreme gradient boosting achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.834 to 0.903, outperforming that of conventional methods (0.705 to 0.816). External validation by 3 independent laboratories showed that the balanced accuracy of the ML model ranged from 0.760 to 0.836, outperforming the balanced accuracy of 0.670 to 0.773 of the conventional models. Conclusions This study addresses limitations regarding the sensitivity of current delta check methods for detection of sample misidentification errors and provides versatile models that mitigate the operational challenges faced by smaller laboratories. Our findings offer a pathway toward more efficient and reliable clinical laboratory testing.
