Administrative and medical information about the patient forms, in each case, a pattern, the complexity of which increases as the number of data grows. Even when the data are 4—5 in number, the human ability to recognize and distinguish between different patterns begins to fail, A mathematical method (linear discriminatory analysis) has been worked out. This system of analysis appears to provide opportunities of placing patients with the same or similar patterns in classes which are diagnostically, prognostically or therapeutically homogeneous.

Administrative und medizinische Informationen über den Patienten stellen in jedem Einzelfalle ein Erscheinungsbild dar, dessen Komplexität mit der Anzahl der einzelnen Daten zunimmt. Schon bei nur 4—5 verschiedenartigen Daten beginnt die menschliche Fähigkeit, unterschiedliche Konstellationsmuster zu erkennen und sie sicher voneinander zu unterscheiden, zu versagen. Verfasser haben unter Benutzung einer mathematischen Differenzierungsmethode (lineare Diskriminanzanalyse) ein Analysen. verfahren ausgearbeitet, das geeignet erscheint, Patienten mit gleichen oder ähnlichen Symptomenbildern in diagnostisch, prognostisch und therapeutisch homogene Klassen einzuordnen.
