Decision support techniques for the interpretation of quantitative amino acid data.
Quantitative amino acid profiles are traditionally reported as a list of individual concentrations and reference intervals. By the use of selected examples it is shown that alternative methods of presenting and assessing these results can enhance both the quantity and quality of information. A candidate decision support tool is offered as an aid to the interpretation of amino acid profiles.
