    This study introduces a BASIC-programmed computer system for generating interpretive lab reports. It uses a numerical code to analyze serum electrolyte abnormalities, aiding in diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Medical Informatics
    • Laboratory Medicine

    Background:

    • Interpreting laboratory data, particularly serum electrolytes, can be complex.
    • Standardized coding procedures can enhance data analysis and reporting.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a computer-based system for generating interpretive reports of laboratory data.
    • To utilize a numerical coding system for serum electrolyte abnormalities.

    Main Methods:

    • A tetral algorithm was programmed in BASIC on desk-top computers with 16K memory.
    • A three-dimensional matrix was used, with columns representing diagnostic considerations for electrolyte abnormalities.
    • A numerical code (4=high, 2=normal, 1=low) was assigned to lab values.

    Main Results:

    • The system successfully produces interpretive reports of selected laboratory data.
    • The program allows for easy updates to diagnostic considerations and codes.
    • Reports can be printed for patient charts, with file copies generated via a rerun loop.

    Conclusions:

    • Desk-top computers and BASIC programming offer a viable method for automated laboratory data interpretation.
    • The developed coding system provides a structured approach to analyzing serum electrolyte abnormalities.
    • This system facilitates efficient report generation and record-keeping in clinical settings.
