Abstract:
Autopsy data and dispensary records were analyzed for 1843 outpatients who had died at home. Main causes of death were defined. Misdiagnosis was attributed to objective and subjective factors in 5.3% and 94.7% of the cases, respectively. Criteria of discrepancy arising between postmortem and dispensary diagnosis are suggested. Necessity of postmortem examinations is grounded.
