i am again struggling with a problem i am unsure how to set up. I could easily solve all in the php backend, but this would impede further extensions and doesn't satisfy my curiosity :D
so, here's the problem: a patient takes everyday a medecine, and from time to time comes in a result of a blood-sample.
Now i first of all, i want to draw a graph showing the dosis taken, and the blood-values mesured. Later on i want to calculate the assimilation rate, the saturation rate, and the effective rate, both in real, and prognosis....
My actual problem beeing that the dosis may be not simply 1 to n pills per day, but for example day 1 1, day 2 1.25, day 3 .5, day 4 1, etc... the most complex case to now i, has a period over 4 days....
so i set up:
CREATE TABLE patients ( id integer NOT NULL, name text, minzone real, maxzone real, refresh integer );
CREATE TABLE inrdata ( id integer NOT NULL, temps timestamp without time zone, patid integer, inr real );
CREATE TABLE posologie ( id integer NOT NULL, inrid integer, champ text, definition text, valeur real );
In patients i have the persons name, and the boundaries that are wanted for the blood-sample value, in inrdata i have the timepoints where i get a blood-sample-result, and i eventually adjust the posology.
in posologie i have the table at a timepoint i have stored at the moment in champ=sequence, definition="1;1.25;0.5;1",
and actually i solve the problem with the frontend....
what i would like is to store the posology iterations in the posology table, and be able to make a select that generates the data on the fly. Taking the different waypoints given by the data in inrdata as starting point and computing for each day the actual dosis....
