Coroner 20. Atlanta Women and Children's Hospital (April data): Autopsies Deaths HP No Autopsy Inpatient: A&C 4 31 NB Outpatient: 2

Answer 1

Gross autopsy rate

autopsy means biopsy or Histopathological examination along with gross examination of the dead body, viscera, tissue etc done in dead body to find the exact cause of death or to find out the disease.

Autopsy rate is the number of deaths undergoing autopsy per all deaths, and is expressed per 100 deaths. Gross autopsy rate formula calculates the exact rate of the autopsy by finding the ratio of the total number of patients deaths to total patients autopsies.

Gross autopsy =a/d where a== total inpatient autopsy (37-31)+2 and D= total inpatient death=39

so Gross autopsy rate = a/dx100= {( 6+2)/39}x100

in Atlanta GAR= 20.51

Total inpatient death =39 total autopsy = 8 and un autopsied coronar = 2

net autopsy rate =8/39-2x100=21.6

Newborn autopsy rate =2/2x100=100

Hospital autopsy rate = total death =41 autopsy done in 8+2+=10 and coronar =2

so the hospital autopsy rate will be =10/41-2x100=25.6
