Computer Recognition of Human Disease Patterns:Appendix H. Anion Gap Exhibited by Serum Electrolyte Determinations.

摘要

In 1965 Lindberg, Couch,and Van Peenen reported on the relative frequency of the patterns exhibited by 6985consecutive sets of serum electrolyte determinations. Some of the 81 hypothecated patterns did not occur or were extremely rare. The purpose of the present study was to determine to what extent the non-occurring patterns could be predicted simply on the basis of the anion gap.
