The CGs (algorithms) for lab tests that have been developed are based on extended review of the relevant literature and have been drafted following scientific assessment and adjustment to the context of Cyprus. They are addressed to health professionals in Cyprus and aim at assisting in the provision of evidence-based healthcare thus contributing to the improvement of the quality of the healthcare services provided while reducing cost.
It is expected that health professionals will take these guidelines seriously into account while exercising their duties and use them as a support tool. Undoubtedly, they cannot replace the attending physicians and their scientific judgement or their responsibility regarding the management of their patients.

The development of CGs/CPs and laboratory algorithms is a dynamic process based on the most recent knowledge about a specific disease. Even though all efforts will be made to enrich and review them every three years in accordance with the most recent research/scientific data, the authors, the MH and the HIO disclaim all responsibility regarding their accuracy or completeness as well as their possible subsequent incorrect use (Disclaimer).
