title: Computer aided phenotyping of dyslipoproteinemia.
abstract: An expert system was developed in order to obtain uniform and fast phenotyping and reporting of dyslipoproteinemia. PROLOG is used as knowledge representation formalism. The program is in daily use on an IBM PC AT, in the Laboratory of Clinical chemistry of the University Hospitals in Leuven. Evaluation has proved the system to be reliable and useful for the interpretation of lipoprotein disorders. Indeed accuracy figures of 98.4% and 95.2% were obtained in the learning (N = 315) and test set (N = 126) respectively.
