Interpretive reporting of laboratory data. Gastric analysis.
The reporting of gastric analysis data requires clearly formatted and documented analytic results, accurately calculated secretory rates, appropriate normal values based on age, sex and weight of the patient, and interpretive review of the data based on well-documented personal experience or comprehensive studies reported in the medical literature. We report here a technique using inexpensive and flexible data processing equipment suitable to most community hospital laboratories.
