An autopsy method for evaluating trauma care is described, which records patient age, time interval from hospital arrival to death, whether operation was performed, and cause of death. The technique is inexpensive, can be performed rapidly by a small number of examiners, and utilizes data sources that are a matter of public record. The method has proven to be valuable in evaluating trauma care in Orange County and we feel it may have widespread applicability.
本文描述了一种用于评估创伤护理的尸检方法，该方法记录患者年龄、从入院到死亡的时间间隔、是否进行了手术以及死因。该技术成本低廉，少数检查人员即可快速完成，并且利用的是公开记录的数据源。事实证明，该方法在评估奥兰治县的创伤护理方面很有价值，我们认为它可能具有广泛的适用性。
