Malpractice suits against physicians have increased tremendously during the last years. We have analysed 108 cases with alleged malpractice. Twenty-two suits had not been settled yet at the time of this study. The documents were not available in twenty-one cases. There were court decisions in 65 cases. Fourty-eight times the accused physicians could be exculpated. In 12 cases a settlement out of court could be reached. The accused physician was found guilty in 4 cases. Reduction in the number of malpractice suits can be achieved in our opinion by exact documentation of clinical findings and laboratory results as well as by a better and more detailed information of the patients.
在过去几年中，针对医生的医疗事故诉讼大幅增加。我们分析了108起被指控存在医疗事故的案件。在本研究进行时，有22起诉讼尚未解决。有21起案件的文件资料无法获取。有65起案件有法庭判决结果。被指控的医生有48次被宣告无罪。有12起案件达成了庭外和解。有4起案件中被指控的医生被判有罪。我们认为，通过准确记录临床检查结果和实验室结果，以及向患者提供更优质、更详细的信息，可以减少医疗事故诉讼的数量。
