    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Medical Informatics

    Background:

    • Serum cholinesterase phenotyping is crucial for clinical diagnostics.
    • Existing computational methods for phenotyping may lack efficiency or comprehensive documentation.
    • Microcomputer-based solutions can streamline laboratory workflows.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To modify a BASIC program for enhanced serum cholinesterase phenotyping.
    • To improve the utility of computational tools in routine laboratory diagnostics.
    • To facilitate accurate patient identification and detailed documentation of assay fitting processes.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of an existing BASIC program using microcomputer technology.
    • Integration of reaction-rate data from total and inhibitor assays.
    • Implementation of patient identification and detailed output of the fitting process.

    Main Results:

    • The modified program efficiently accepts and processes assay data.
    • It enables straightforward patient identification within the system.
    • Comprehensive output of the fitting process ensures adequate documentation.

    Conclusions:

    • The enhanced BASIC program significantly improves the routine determination of serum cholinesterase phenotypes.
    • This modification increases the program's value for clinical laboratories.
    • The updated tool supports more effective laboratory diagnostics and data management.
