A new BASIC computer program aids maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (MSAFP) screening. It manages patient data, calculates results in multiples of the median (MOM), and provides individualized interpretations and recommendations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Biotechnology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (MSAFP) screening is crucial for prenatal diagnostics.
  • Accurate data management and interpretation are essential for effective MSAFP screening programs.
  • Existing methods may lack integrated data handling and individualized risk assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a user-friendly computer program for managing and interpreting MSAFP screening results.
  • To enhance the efficiency and accuracy of MSAFP screening through automated data processing.
  • To provide clinicians with a tool for individualized risk assessment and subsequent management recommendations.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a BASIC language computer program for IBM PC.

  • Implementation of features for patient database maintenance, result input, and storage.
  • Inclusion of algorithms for calculating gestational age-dependent multiples of the median (MOM) and individualized risk interpretation.
  • Integration of reporting, daily logging, follow-up tracking, data conversion, and billing functionalities.

    • Main Results:

    • The program successfully maintains a patient database and stores MSAFP results.
    • It accurately calculates gestational age-dependent MOM values and provides individualized interpretations.
    • The software generates comprehensive reports, daily logs, follow-up sheets, and billing statements.
    • The program is designed for easy modification by users with basic BASIC programming knowledge.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed computer program offers a comprehensive solution for maternal serum alpha fetoprotein screening.
    • It streamlines data management, enhances result interpretation, and supports clinical decision-making.
    • The program's flexibility and ease of modification make it a valuable tool for healthcare providers.
