A microprocessing system designed to collect and analyse data from respiratory epidemiological studies is described. It has several independent modules. The first module presents the questions from the European Coal and Steel Community questionnaire in a logical sequence and analyses and stores the responses. The second module is associated with a device that measures CO diffusion and determines gas exchange; it calculates, displays and stores the results. The last module collects and integrates digitally the flow measured at the mouth by a pneumotachograph during forced expiration, then displays and calculates the principal indices when certain programmed criteria for selection of flow-volume curves are met. All modules are connected to a numerical magnetic tape-recorder which centralizes the information data. The system is easily transportable and satisfactory for epidemiological studies.
本文描述了一种用于收集和分析呼吸道流行病学研究数据的微处理系统。它有几个独立的模块。第一个模块按逻辑顺序呈现欧洲煤钢共同体调查问卷中的问题，并分析和存储答案。第二个模块与测量一氧化碳扩散和确定气体交换的设备相关联；它计算、显示并存储结果。最后一个模块在强制呼气期间收集并数字整合由呼吸速度描记器在口腔处测得的流量，然后在满足某些用于选择流量-容积曲线的编程标准时显示并计算主要指标。所有模块都连接到一个数字磁带记录器，该记录器集中信息数据。该系统易于运输，对流行病学研究而言令人满意。
