[Mathematical methods in the diagnosis of the thyroid gland function].
At present effective diagnosis of deviations from euthyroidism in diseases of the thyroid gland presents certain difficulties. The most rational direction in the solution of this problem is introduction of quantitative methods into the diagnosis. Symptoms encountered in case histories of 1500 patients with goiter transformation were coded for this purpose according to the chosen algorhythm. Only those symptoms which were present in all the case histories were selected for this study. The data obtained were treated on "Ypapi-2" computer. A table in which every sign of the disease had a quantitative expression was drawn on the basis of the results. Diagnosis according to the mentioned mathematical table is more effective, and, besides, there is no subjectivism in the diagnosis.
