Data are presented to show that a microcomputer can be programmed to: (1) analyse a standard allergy questionnaire, (2) reliably predict the ranked order probabilities with which IgE antibody tests will produce positive results, (3) store the IgE test results, and (4) print a comprehensive report that summarises and integrates the clinical and laboratory data. Consequently, the practitioner who refers a blood sample and a questionnaire completed by the patient to a centre where both can be analysed will obtain enough practical information to decide whether to treat or refer that patient to a specialist. The microcomputer is therefore potentially of great value in any preliminary allergy investigation.
数据表明，可对微型计算机进行编程，使其能够：(1) 分析标准过敏问卷；(2) 可靠地预测 IgE 抗体检测呈阳性结果的排序概率；(3) 存储 IgE 检测结果；(4) 打印一份综合报告，总结并整合临床和实验室数据。因此，将患者的血样和填写好的问卷提交到能够同时进行分析的中心的从业者，将获得足够的实用信息，以决定是治疗该患者还是将其转诊给专科医生。因此，微型计算机在任何初步过敏调查中都可能具有巨大价值。
