Two controlled trials of the use of a biochemical profile were conducted in a childern's hospital to see whether the profile led to diagnoses which would not otherwise [have been made and to see what effect it had on the number of extra requests for pathololgical investigations and the length of stay in hospital]. Altogether 2816 children were examined and 13 new diagnoses made. There was a significant increases in the total number of pathorequests but the profile did not alter the length of stay in hospital. We conclude that the profile mad only a small contribtuion to the overall care of the pateints.
在一家儿童医院进行了两项关于使用生化指标的对照试验,以观察该指标是否能得出在其他情况下无法做出的诊断,以及它对病理检查额外申请数量和住院时间有何影响。总共检查了2816名儿童,做出了13项新诊断。病理申请总数有显著增加,但该指标并未改变住院时间。我们得出结论,该指标对患者的整体护理贡献很小。
