Method for clinical analyses of the comparative type

Abstract

A method for clinical analyses of the comparative type, which comprises the following steps: - creating a reference data bank (1), which comprises a plurality of records (10), each of which is associated with a respective analyzed patient, each one of the plurality of records (10) having at least one comparison field (11), which contains at least one typical datum (Ha, l ib, l ie) of the analyzed patient and at least one value field ( 12), which contains at least one laboratory datum (12a, 12b, 12c) determined by a clinical analysis on the analyzed patient; - selecting from the reference data bank (1) a preset number of records (10) which form a comparison set (30) so that they have a preset typical datum (11a, 11b, 12c) which has a value substantially close to, or equal to, the corresponding value of a patient on whom the clinical analyses are to be performed; - determining, on the basis of the values of the laboratory data (12a, 12b, 12c) of the records (10) of the comparison set (30), the respective reference value for the laboratory datum (12a, 12b, 12c) to be assessed in the patient on whom the clinical analyses are to be performed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for comparative types of clinical analysis, in particular to a method for analyzing populations and subpopulations of peripheral blood lymphocytes. Background technique [0002] Clinical assays such as blood tests are currently performed for a variety of reasons, as they enable information to be obtained that is (or may be) relevant to the state of the patient's health and to the presence or absence of abnormalities in the individual for whom such clinical analysis is performed A lot of information about the values ​​of the parameters. [0003] However, there are certain problems, inter alia, related to the determination of comparative values ​​(or so-called reference values) for populations and subpopulations of peripheral blood lymphocytes. [0004] The commonly used reference parameters are actually average parameters related to blood donors, so it does not take into account that such parameters (especially...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In addition, for a more detailed understanding of a patient's clinical situation, especially his / her immune status, it is convenient to analyze a certain number of parameters, and especially for non-specialist physicians to have a comprehensive understanding from the list of monitored parameters Immunity status is difficult, and being able to compare changes in data analyzed and monitored over time is more complex

Finally, a comprehensive assessment is particularly difficult considering the number of "significantly varied" parameters and especially the degree to which they vary
