TI  - Expert diagnosis in tall stature: edits 1.1 diagnostic software efficacy.
PG  - 94-9
AB  - EDITS (Expert Diagnosis In Tall Stature) expert system version 1.1 was evaluated 
      by making it diagnose sets of clinical and laboratory criteria published as case 
      reports in medical scientific literature, and analyzing the results obtained. The 
      case reports were selected by means of the PubMed database. Processing the input 
      data yielded a list of the top five most-probable disorders, ranked in the order 
      of likelihood along with their probability. 21 cases of 12 diseases were 
      processed. In 14 cases out of 21 (66.67%) the referral diagnosis was included in 
      the top five most probable diagnoses listed by the expert system. In 64.29% of 
      all the cases when the correct diagnosis was put on the top five list, the 
      correct diagnosis ranked first. The efficacy of EDITS 1.1 is in line with that 
      demonstrated by SYNDROC, POSSUM, OMIM and the Expert System for Differential 
      Diagnosis of Hereditary Neuromuscular Diseases in Children. EDITS 1.1 diagnostic 
      software proved to be a useful practical tool for differential diagnosis of 
      disorders that may be manifested by the tall stature syndrome.
