title: Clinical evaluation of an algorithm for interpreting biochemical profiles showing hyperbilirubinemia.
abstract: An interpretive algorithm for biochemical profiles showing an elevated serum bilirubin concentration has been evaluated, modified, and retested in a retrospective clinical study, and is now being used at Charity Hospital in New Orleans to aid in the generation of interpretive comments to accompany the laboratory report. Further attempts to assess the clinical usefulness of this policy seem merited.
