[Gnumed-devel] Normcurves ... still alive

[Christof Meigen]

Hi,

I talked with Karsten last week and he convinced me to put the
normcurves in the database (instead of XML-files) so there will be
some SQL-work from my side. Furthermore there is, as I understand, no
plan yet how to store measurements and how to access them from within
the application (should be done through gmCachedPerson), and how this
will work together with the idea of episodes (a measurement belongs to
one encounter, but may belong to several Episodes and therefor to
several PartialContacts).

Anyhow, to show that things progress ... though at a slow rate ... I
attach a first draft of norm.py, which handles norms specific for one
sex and one combination of values like "Height for Age". The idea is
to group such norms into bundles like "Kromeyer-1999-GER" or
"Prader-1976-CH", and make it possible to let a patient as a whole
(with all of its measurements) get checked by the appropriate
normcurves.

Right now there are three examples, female-height and female-weight
from Prader and (inofficial) female BMI from Leipzig ... directly in
the source (though easy to edit) which you can play around with (just
start the program)

The code is not tested too well yet. I will work on an SQL-Scheme
for the normcurves next, similar to the DTD I posted earlier.

Is anybody working on or having ideas about storing measurements?
Otherwise I would do that next.

Have fun,
        Christof
