The International Consensus Group for Hematology Review (ICGHR) are essentially review criteria designed to reduce the number of manual smear reviews following analysis in automated hematology analyzers (AHAs). Although AHAs are an indispensable part of the present-day clinical laboratory, manual smear reviews still play an integral role in identifying morphological abnormalities and to confirm the results of the analyzers.
