A system and method for assessing the medical risk of a given outcome for a patient comprises obtaining test data from a given patient corresponding to at least one test marker for predicting the medical risk of a given outcome and obtaining at least one variable relating to the given patient and transforming the test data with the variable to produce transformed data for each test markers. A database of transformed data from previously assessed patients is provided and mean and standard deviation values are determined from the database in accordance with the actual occurrence of the given outcome for previously assessed patients. The transformed data is compared with the mean and standard deviation values to assess the likelihood of the given outcome for the given patient and the database is updated with the actual occurrence for the given patient, whereby the determined mean and standard deviation will be adjusted.

A system for assessing the medical risk of a given outcome for a patient, the system comprising: data input means receptive of test data from a given patient corresponding to at least one test marker for predicting the medical risk of a given outcome and at least one variable relating to the given patient; means for transforming the test data with the variable to produce transformed data for each test marker; means storing a database of transformed data from other medical risk assessment systems for previously assessed patients; means for determining mean and standard deviation values from the database in accordance with the actual occurrence of the given outcome for previously assessed patients; means for comparing the transformed data with the mean and standard deviation values to assess the likelihood of the given outcome for the given patient; and means for locally updating the database of said system with the actual occurrence for the given patient; wherein the means for determining mean and standard deviation values includes means for locally adjusting the determined mean and standard deviation values of said system for the locally updated database, whereby the adjusted mean and standard deviation values for said system are adjusted for a particular patient population assessed by said system relative to mean and standard deviation values determined from the database from other medical risk assessment systems; means for storing predetermined requirements for risk data comprising the test data, the said at least one variable, the transformed data, the determined mean and the determined standard deviation; means for validating data when received, transformed and determined with regard to the predetermined requirements comprising means for checking the integrity of the database for each comparison with the data therein and each update of the data therein; and means for indicating when the data does not meet the predetermined requirements.
