To the Editor.—

We have been very interested in the various uses of microcomputers in pediatric units as proposed by Schwartz and Hammer.1 Following our experience in a neonatal unit, we have found another utilization.2 Microcomputers can be used for self-evaluation of the quality of care treatment in a pediatric unit. According to the number of variables studied, a microcomputer or minicomputer could be used.

For example, using a minicomputer (Hewlett-Packard 9045 B), we store 400 variables for each newborn.
