    FORTRAN is surprisingly effective for patient data management, challenging prior beliefs about its file handling capabilities. This study validates FORTRAN 77 for clinical database construction, demonstrating its efficiency in file access and data retrieval.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Science
    • Medical Informatics
    • Database Management

    Background:

    • Traditional views suggest FORTRAN is less adept at file manipulation and database handling compared to languages like MUMPS.
    • Despite this perception, recent literature indicates FORTRAN's prevalent use in patient data management systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of FORTRAN in file management for clinical databases.
    • To establish a robust file management system using FORTRAN 77 for clinical data.
    • To challenge the prevailing notion of FORTRAN's inadequacy in database applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Developing a file management system specifically in FORTRAN 77.
    • Conducting a comparative analysis of file manipulation techniques.

  • Assessing the time efficiency of file access methods.
  • Evaluating different data retrieval strategies within the FORTRAN environment.

    • Main Results:

    • FORTRAN 77 proves capable of constructing and managing clinical databases effectively.
    • The study identifies optimal file access and data retrieval methods within FORTRAN.
    • Performance metrics demonstrate FORTRAN's viability for patient data management tasks.

    Conclusions:

    • FORTRAN 77 is a competent language for building clinical databases, contrary to prior assumptions.
    • The established FORTRAN file management system offers efficient data handling for clinical applications.
    • This research supports the reconsideration of FORTRAN's role in modern database systems, particularly in healthcare.
