Abstract :
An expert system for the diagnosis and management of neonatal birth injuries has been developed for the use of general practitioners and obstetricians handling large number of deliveries. The system´s knowledge base was derived from a study conducted on 1100 consecutive full-term, mature, live neonates. The system was modeled to resemble the way the expert arrives at a diagnosis. It has 30 diagnoses and approximately 100 rules. The basic interface required to communicate with the user is incorporated into the program
