Four hundred twenty-eight autopsy cases were reviewed at a departmental conference over a 4 1/2-year period. All diagnostic test data were discussed before the results of the autopsies were known, and the participants tried to extract the maximum diagnostic information from the clinical findings and the test data. Fifty-two percent of the autopsy cases failed to provide any additional major insight; premortem clinical and laboratory findings were sufficient for diagnosis. In the remaining 48%, however, the autopsies contributed to the improvement of medical care.
在一次部门会议上，对428例尸检病例进行了为期4年半的回顾。在尸检结果出来之前，讨论了所有诊断测试数据，与会者试图从临床发现和测试数据中提取最大的诊断信息。52%的尸检病例未能提供任何额外的主要见解；生前临床和实验室检查结果足以做出诊断。然而，在其余48%的病例中，尸检有助于改善医疗护理。
