摘要

背景:《丹麦卫生法》规定,任何可能因治疗或预防方面的错误、疏忽或事故造成的死亡都应向警方报告。这样,警察就有权要求进行法医解剖。目的:分析与不同特征相关的可能的医源性死亡。方法:选取1992 ~ 2015年所有登记为医生医疗事故的病例。根据尸检介绍选取2016年的病例。分析纳入病例的不同特点:医源性事件类型、负责的医疗专业人员、死亡地点、死亡原因。结果:在11143例尸检中,共纳入275例,即2.5%可能的医源性死亡。最常见的医源性事件类型是疏忽(42.2%)。医院医生是最常见的责任方,包括外科医生(40%)和内科医生(13.5%)。最常见的三个死亡原因是心血管疾病(22.2%)、感染/炎症(17.8%)和出血(16%)。结论:本研究的结果有助于了解在处理与卫生保健系统接触的人的死亡时应注意的事项。

Iatrogenic deaths: A 25-year retrospective study of medicolegal autopsies
Abstract Background: It is stipulated in the Danish Health Act that any death which could be caused by a mistake, neglect or accident in relation to treatment or prophylaxis should be reported to the police. It is then within the power of the police to request a medicolegal autopsy. Aim: To profile the possible iatrogenic deaths in relation to different characteristics. Methods: All cases from 1992 to 2015 registered as doctor’s malpractice were selected. Cases from 2016 were selected based on the autopsy introduction. Included cases were analyzed focusing on different characteristics: type of iatrogenic event, responsible medical professional, place of death, cause of death. Results: A total of 275, i.e. 2.5% possible iatrogenic deaths out of a total of 11,143 autopsies were included. The most frequent type of iatrogenic event was negligence (42.2%). Most often a hospital doctor was the responsible party including surgeons (40%) and physicians (13.5%). The three most common causes of death were cardiovascular disease (22.2%), infection/inflammation (17.8%) and hemorrhage (16%). Conclusion: The results from this study can contribute to the knowledge of what to be aware of when dealing with the death of a person who has been in contact with the health care system.
