Analyzing Lab Results with pandas
Lab result analysis is a crucial part of pharmacy practice because it enables you to make informed clinical decisions for your patients. By examining lab data such as blood glucose or creatinine levels, you can identify potential issues, monitor treatment effectiveness, and adjust therapies as needed. With the help of the pandas library, you can efficiently organize, filter, and interpret large volumes of patient lab results, making it easier to spot trends or abnormalities that may require intervention.
1234567891011import pandas as pd # Create a DataFrame with sample patient lab results data = { "Patient": ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "Dana", "Eli"], "Test": ["Glucose", "Glucose", "Creatinine", "Glucose", "Creatinine"], "Value": [110, 185, 1.1, 205, 2.3] } lab_results = pd.DataFrame(data) print(lab_results)
Once you have your lab results organized in a DataFrame, you can filter the data to focus on patients with abnormal values. For example, elevated glucose levels may indicate the need for diabetes management or further testing. Filtering allows you to quickly pinpoint which patients have results outside the normal range so you can take appropriate clinical action.
123456789101112# Define the clinical threshold for high glucose high_glucose_threshold = 140 # Filter for patients with glucose above the threshold high_glucose = lab_results[ (lab_results["Test"] == "Glucose") & (lab_results["Value"] > high_glucose_threshold) ] # Summarize the patients with high glucose print("Patients with high glucose levels:") print(high_glucose[["Patient", "Value"]])
1. How can pandas help identify patients with abnormal lab results?
2. What is the benefit of filtering lab data for clinical decision making?
3. Which pandas method is used to select rows based on a condition?
