  • Title: [Iatrogenic pathology (on the basis of necropsy materials in Leningrad in 1988)].
    Author: Nekachalov VV.
    Journal: Arkh Patol; 1990; 52(11):14-7. PubMed ID: 2082866.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of iatrogenic diseases on the basis of necropsy materials in Leningrad in 1988 is 1.2% (168 of 13928 necropsies). The categories (I, II, III) for the evaluation of the severity degree of iatrogenic diseases are suggested. The I category includes iatrogenic diseases which were the cause of death (58 cases or 0.41% of total number of necropsies). The II category: iatrogeny is not connected directly with the main disease but facilitated the development of severe complications (87 cases--0.62%). The III category: iatrogenic diseases did not play a considerable role in the thanatology. The necessity is underlined to discuss iatrogenic pathology at the clinicopathologic conferences establishing its causes and the degree of severity.
