Based on the personal computer software "dBase III plus", we have developed a database program for storage and analysis of data obtained from forensic autopsies. It has been designed to handle administrative data as well as aspects of pathological and forensic findings. To assure the comparability of data with those of other institutes, the data were encoded using the SNOMED nomenclature. This system is characterized by a well differentiated, hierarchical structure, and is commonly used internationally. The entry of data is done by choosing among more than 3,000 terms, which are displayed in a system of selective menus. There terms can be supplemented at any time for specific purposes. Thus it is necessary to record the results of an autopsy in a standardized and well-defined way. The data-base can be used for statistical evaluation of autopsy results, but is also intended as a basis for the development of an expert system to help to determine the cause of death.
基于个人计算机软件“dBase III plus”，我们开发了一个数据库程序，用于存储和分析法医尸检获得的数据。它旨在处理管理数据以及病理和法医检查结果的各个方面。为确保数据与其他机构的数据具有可比性，数据使用SNOMED术语进行编码。该系统具有区分明确的层次结构，在国际上被广泛使用。数据输入是通过从3000多个术语中进行选择来完成的，这些术语显示在一个选择性菜单系统中。这些术语可随时根据特定目的进行补充。因此，有必要以标准化和明确的方式记录尸检结果。该数据库可用于尸检结果的统计评估，但也旨在作为开发专家系统以帮助确定死亡原因的基础。
