- Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIM -- During routine blood panel testing, large amounts of bio medical data are collected in Hungary and in all over the world. The aim of our -- ethically approved -- exploratory medical data analysis was to examine whether the analysis of correlations among several variables in a real-life, non-random blood panel data leads to meaningful results. DATA AND METHODS -- In a retrospective study 2,292,199 anonymous routine blood panel data points were analyzed. Rank correlation was used between variables with more than 10,000 data points and strong (|ϱ|>0.5, p<0.001) relationships were visualized and interpreted. RESULTS -- Similar laboratory values, effects of diseases affecting the same organ, as well as well-known medical interrelationships were shown between the examined laboratory parameter-pairs. DISCUSSION -- Our exploratory data analysis shows that despite the non-random nature of the big blood panel sample, wellknown medical correlations were very well detectable. Based on the results further research -- with the inclusion of additional variables -- seems reasonable and meaningful with due caution.
