Allergy screening using a microcomputer.

C F Pantin, T G Merrett

    British Medical Journal (Clinical Research Ed.)
    |August 14, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A microcomputer can analyze allergy questionnaires and IgE test results to predict positive outcomes. This technology aids practitioners in making informed decisions for patient allergy investigations and treatment referrals.

    Area of Science:

    • Allergy diagnostics
    • Clinical immunology
    • Medical informatics

    Background:

    • Standard allergy investigations involve questionnaires and immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody testing.
    • Integrating clinical data with laboratory results can be complex and time-consuming.
    • Accurate preliminary allergy assessment is crucial for effective patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the utility of a programmed microcomputer in allergy diagnostics.
    • To assess the microcomputer's ability to predict IgE test outcomes.
    • To evaluate the integration of clinical and laboratory data for comprehensive reporting.

    Main Methods:

    • Programming a microcomputer to analyze standard allergy questionnaires.
    • Developing algorithms to predict the probability of positive IgE antibody test results.
