C. A. Polnitsky, R. J. Capone, D. E. Gagnon and K. K. McGinnis

To date, results have been reported in a variety of formats, making meaningful comparison and aggregate analysis impossible. A flexible patient encounter form and data analysis scheme are proposed for universal adoption in future published accounts.
