In a retrospective study, all autopsies performed at the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the Justus Liebig University of Giessen between 1968 and 2007 for suspected medical malpractice with fatal outcome were evaluated and analysed with regard to the reason for initiating preliminary investigations and the medical specialties involved. In 109 cases, the prosecution files could be inspected as to the outcome of the proceedings. As there are hardly any comparable studies in the German-speaking countries, the data were compared with the results of two older studies. In many cases, medical malpractice could be excluded directly at the end of the post-mortem examination. Most of the charges were dropped according to Section 170 subs. 2 Code of Criminal Procedure.
在一项回顾性研究中，对1968年至2007年间在吉森尤斯图斯·利比希大学法医学研究所进行的、因怀疑医疗事故导致死亡的所有尸检进行了评估和分析，内容涉及启动初步调查的原因以及所涉及的医学专业。在109起案件中，可以查阅检方档案以了解诉讼结果。由于在德语国家几乎没有可比的研究，因此将这些数据与两项较早研究的结果进行了比较。在许多情况下，在尸检结束时可以直接排除医疗事故。根据《刑事诉讼法》第170条第2款，大多数指控被撤销。
