OBJECTIVES
To assess the number of investigations left behind by patients in radiology department, their cost, and the possible methods of reducing the problem.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 1424 radiographs, 160 computed tomography (CT) scans, 300 ultrasonography (USG) reports, and 46 Doppler reports were left behind by patients in one financial year. The total cost of these left behind investigations was calculated and the reports were categorized into normal and abnormal for each modality.
RESULTS
Of the radiographs left behind 658 were abnormal, with 211 among these being radiographs of postoperative patients. Thirty-seven percent of CT scans had positive findings. Sixty-eight percent of USG reports had positive findings while 46% of Doppler reports were abnormal.
CONCLUSION
We believe that the cost and number of these left behind investigations over a period of time would definitely be significant for the health care system in a developing country. It is time to think of the possible reasons and methods for containing this problem.
目的
评估患者留在放射科的检查数量、其成本以及减少该问题的可能方法。
材料与方法
在一个财政年度中，患者共留下1424张X光片、160份计算机断层扫描（CT）报告、300份超声检查（USG）报告和46份多普勒报告。计算这些遗留检查的总成本，并将各检查方式的报告分为正常和异常两类。
结果
在留下的X光片中，658份为异常，其中211份是术后患者的X光片。37%的CT扫描有阳性结果。68%的超声检查报告有阳性结果，而46%的多普勒报告为异常。
结论
我们认为，一段时间内这些遗留检查的成本和数量对发展中国家的医疗保健系统来说肯定相当可观。是时候思考控制这一问题的可能原因和方法了。
