Deaths:            A&C: 39                   Of the 40 A&C / NB Deaths:

NB:     1                                21        autopsied (A&C and NB)

Fetal:   13                                1        anesthesia related death

                                                9        under 48 hours

                                                31        over 48 hours

                                                3        coroner’s cases (not on hospital staff)

                                                1        NB autopsy

                                                9        fetal autopsies

In addition to the 40 IP Deaths:         2 died outside hospital and brought to hospital to be autopsied by hospital pathologist

Calculate the following:

a) What is the gross autopsy rate?

b) What is the net autopsy rate?

c) What is the adjusted hospital autopsy rate?

d) What is the NB autopsy rate?

e) What is the fetal death autopsy rate?        

Solutions

Expert Solution

Total number of deaths among the In Patients in the hospital = 40 (including New born)

Total In Patients autopsys = 21(A&C,New Born)

Unautopised Coroner's cases = 3

Total Number of New Born Deaths = 1

Number of autopsies on New Born Deaths = 1

Number of Fetal deaths = 13

Number of Autopsies in Fetal Death = 9

Number of persons died outside and brought to hospital for autopsy = 2

a)GROSS AUTOPSY RATE = number of inpatient autopsies for a period / total number of inpatient deaths for a period*100

GROSS AUTOPSY RATE = 21/40 *100 = 52.5

b)NET AUTOPSY RATE = number of inpatient autopsies*100 / (total number of inpatient deaths -    number of Unautopised Coroner's cases)

NET AUTOPSY RATE = 21*100/(40-3) = 56.7568

c) ADJUSTED HOSPITAL AUTOPSY RATE = Total Hospital Autopsies*100/(Total number of deaths of hospital patients bodies available in the Hospital for autopsy)

ADJUSTED HOSPITAL AUTOPSY RATE = 21*100/(40-2-3) = 60

d)NEW BORN AUTOPSY RATE = Number of autopsies on New Born Deaths*100/Total Number of New Born Deaths

NEW BORN AUTOPSY RATE = 1*100/100 = 100

e) FETAL DEATH AUTOPSY RATE = Number of autopsies on Fetal Deaths*100/Total Number of Fetal Deaths

FETAL DEATH AUTOPSY RATE = 9*100/13 = 69.23
