- W2099133513 abstract "A study was performed to determine the accuracy of clinical diagnosis compared with post mortem findings in a nine bed combined high dependency and intensive care unit in a district general hospital (DGH). One hundred and two consecutive post mortem examinations, performed over a 3-yr period, were analysed using a retrospective and blinded review of medical records. All notes relating to post mortem findings were removed from the medical records which were then reviewed by an intensive care consultant. Cause of death and major clinical diagnoses were determined and compared with post-mortem findings. All patients in whom a discrepancy was found had their cases reviewed by a panel of three intensive care clinicians and a consultant surgeon to determine the significance of the discrepancy using the Goldman classification.1 A Goldman I discrepancy is a missed major diagnosis that if known in life would have altered therapy and possibly survival. A Goldman II discrepancy is a missed major diagnosis that would not have altered therapy or survival. Between June 1996 and May 1999 there were 1718 admissions and 252 deaths (14.7%), of which there were 102 post mortems performed (post mortem rate of 40.5%). Two patients were excluded, being under 16 yr of age, and the notes of three patients were unobtainable. Of the 97 patients, 4 (4.1%) had Goldman I discrepancies, and 19 (19.6%) had Goldman II discrepancies. Complete agreement between pre and post mortem diagnosis was found in 74 (76.3%). Discrepancies fell into four main groups; unrecognized haemorrhage (7 patients), pulmonary emboli (5), myocardial infarction (5), and infectious complications (4). There was a higher proportion of surgical patients with discrepancies (discrepancies in 13 out of 30 surgical patients, 43%), compared with medical patients (7 out of 40, 18%). The four Goldman I discrepancies were unrecognized gastrointestinal haemorrhage, untreated pulmonary embolus, missed septic arthropathy and unrecognized valvular heart disease. This is the first analysis of discrepancies in post mortem findings in a DGH critical care unit (CCU). Previous studies have concentrated on specialized tertiary referral centres.2–4 There are a higher number of unrecognized haemorrhagic complications than in previous studies.2–5 This study reveals that in a CCU important diagnostic errors were made in 19.6% of all patients who subsequently die. In a fifth of these (4.1%), diagnostic errors may have adversely affected their survival. Post mortem examinations have a significant part to play in auditing clinical practice and diagnostic performance in intensive care medicine." @default.
