title: [Practical and theoretical viewpoints in computer-analysis of data from colposcopy,, cytology and histopathology (author's transl)].
abstract: In collaboration with the IBM (Basel) a computer program was developed for the analysis of data from cytology, colposcopy and histopathology. Due to the general way of formulation the program-system is applicabel for every kind of problem in natural sciences as well as economics. It is written in FORTRAN. Until now 15 parametric and non-parametric statistical tests are available for the analysis of descriptive or analytical statistical questions. The amount of data to be analyzed is nearly unlimited. Several plot-routines incorporated in the program serve for graphical presentation of distributions of different variables, of scatter-diagrams and computed functions. The internal control of the statistical monitor including the report card-system and the syntax of the input orders (with generation of error messages) are shortly explained. In a sample of 251 random selected patients showing pathological signes of the portio uteri from the department of gynecology of the university Basel the way of working of some subroutines is demonstrated and some general principles of data-acquisition and data-management in medicine are outlined.
