Implication

Cohort analysis demonstrates enhanced diagnostic and analytical capabilities in acute transmural myocardial infarction, indicating the utility of interactive clinical databanks.

Key Points

To introduce and evaluate physician-computer interaction using a specialized clinical databank as a tool for clinical care, research, and diagnostic analysis.
Developed an interactive computer system programmed to immediately calculate and display interrelationships between clinical and laboratory parameters.
Applied the system to a clinical databank of 60 variables collected from N=500 patients with acute transmural myocardial infarction.
Demonstrated measurable associations between patient mortality and age, coronary care, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase levels, white blood cell count, and congestive heart failure.
Provided clinicians and researchers with enhanced diagnostic exploration capabilities superior to standard statistical analysis and batch processing methods.
