  • Title: An approach to iatrogenic deaths.
    Author: McGuire AR, DeJoseph ME, Gill JR.
    Journal: Forensic Sci Med Pathol; 2016 Mar; 12(1):68-80. PubMed ID: 26820284.
    Abstract:
    Iatrogenic deaths are a concern for patients, physicians, and public health specialists. Most medicolegal investigation jurisdictions in the United States have the legal authority and mandate to investigate deaths associated with diagnostic/therapeutic procedures. Given the decreasing trends of autopsies performed in U.S. hospitals, forensic pathologists are likely to take on an even greater role in investigating these deaths. This is an overview and forensic pathological approach to fatal complications due to diagnostic and therapeutic medical events.
