Abstract

A series of studies are being performed with the following objectives: (1) assist the physician in the extraction of additional information from laboratory data; (2) present laboratory data to physician in a more concise, readily interpretable form; and (3) quantitate the utility of various laboratory tests in specific diagnostic situations. Application of several pattern recognition techniques to the problem of microorganism identification from antibiotic sensitivity results showed that classification accuracy could be significantly reduced if the organism were resistant to multiple antibiotics. In clinical chemistry, a data presentation technique based on optimal discriminant vector projections appears promising.
