A prospective study of 1152 hospital autopsies: II. Analysis of inaccuracies in clinical diagnoses and their significance.

H M Cameron, E McGoogan.   

Abstract

A further analysis of 1152 hospital autopsies provides data on inaccuracies of specific diagnoses; there are many examples of overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis. All were encountered in a routine hospital autopsy service and their frequency confirms the importance of the hospital autopsy in medical audit. A knowledge of the misdiagnoses which recur frequently could provide guidance in the selection of cases for autopsy.
