A microcomputer data base system for maternal serum alpha fetoprotein screening programmed in BASIC.

Abstract:

:A computer program was developed for the IBM PC computer to be used for maternal serum alpha fetoprotein screening (MSAFP). This program, written in BASIC, 1) maintains a data base for patients tested, 2) allows input and storage of MSAFP results, 3) calculates the gestational age dependent result in multiple of the median (MOM), 4) makes an individualized interpretation of the result based on maternal age, weight and diabetes, 5) makes an appropriate recommendation for subsequent action based on the result, and 6) prints a report containing the above information. In addition, the program will print a daily log of patients tested, provides a follow-up sheet to assist in tracking abnormal results to term, converts the data files into files which can be easily intergrated into more powerful data base programs, and generates a monthly statement for billing purposes. The program can be easily modified by someone with minimal training in the BASIC programming language.
