Zusammenfassung:A method enables clinical decision support based on test results for a plurality of tested biomarkers. The method is executed by a data reduction module (15) and comprises the steps of receiving the test results from a testing facility (11); accessing a predefined structure in which available biomarkers are associated with hosts, at least one host being associated with a plurality of biomarkers; identifying a set of hosts by mapping the tested biomarkers to the structure; assigning a host value to each host in said set of hosts based on the test results of the tested biomarker(s) mapped to the host; and providing input data indicative of the set of hosts and the assigned host values for input to a computer-based decision engine (13) for generating the clinical decision support (12). The data reduction module (15) may be included in a system and implemented by computer-executable instructions running on a data processing device, such as a PC or a web server.
