Experience with an expert system developed for the purpose of classification of anemias is presented. Input for this system consists of limited demographic information on each patient and the results of the complete blood count, with the incorporation of the results of further chemical testing (serum iron/total iron binding capacity/ferritin and serum B12/serum folate/red blood cell folate), if indicated. Performance of this system is demonstrated using data from 84 patients seen in the authors' laboratory selected either because of a request for evaluation by the attending physician or because of significant anemias. Using this limited input, the system was able to accurately classify 74 of 84 (88%) of cases according to previously established criteria. The output from the system is overread by a pathologist. Future directions are also discussed.
本文介绍了一个为贫血分类而开发的专家系统的经验。该系统的输入包括每个患者有限的人口统计学信息和全血细胞计数结果，如有必要，还会纳入进一步化学检测（血清铁/总铁结合力/铁蛋白以及血清维生素B12/血清叶酸/红细胞叶酸）的结果。使用作者实验室中84例患者的数据展示了该系统的性能，这些患者要么是主治医生要求评估，要么是患有严重贫血。利用这些有限的输入信息，该系统能够根据先前确立的标准准确分类84例病例中的74例（88%）。该系统的输出结果由病理学家复查。还讨论了未来的发展方向。
