One hundred and eight consecutive necropsies were entered into a quality assessment of the necropsy service in this hospital using a previously published American protocol. Our results were similar to those of the American series, with confirmation of the major clinical diagnosis in 75%, but a higher rate of unsuspected diagnosis (44%). Necropsy was helpful in 58% of cases. The presentation of selected cases at a monthly conference on causes of death was valuable in correlating clinical and pathological findings, and in helping integrate both services.
采用先前发表的美国方案,对该医院尸检服务进行质量评估,纳入了连续108例尸检。我们的结果与美国系列研究相似,主要临床诊断的确诊率为75%,但意外诊断率较高(44%)。尸检在58%的病例中有所帮助。在每月一次的死因会议上展示部分病例,对于关联临床和病理结果以及促进两项服务的整合很有价值。
