title: [A computer program to retrieve and record ISTAT codes related to pediatric diagnosis].
abstract: The paper describes a computer program that retrieves ISTAT codes increasing the efficiency of the retrieving time spent with traditional methods storing the obtained information in a suitable data-base, which may be lately explored by means of commercial programs. To increase the detail of the stored data, many of the official codes have been expanded with an extra character. Some results obtained from an experience conducted at the Pediatric Division of Crema Hospital are also reported.
