[The frequency of autopsies and bioptic examinations in Czechoslovakia from 1964 to 1973 (author's transl)].
The analysis of the routine necroptic and bioptic activities of the pathologists in CSSR shows the following basic facts: 1. The number of patients decreasing with the Public Health Service increases rapidly every year, only one half of these dead might be autopsied. The number of the autopsies increases far more slowely, so that the increase of unautopsied dead is to be expected in the next years. 2. The percentage of the autopsies from the total number of dead in CSSR permanently increases and it represents 32.4% in pathological autopsies and 36% together with the legal-medical autopsies. 3. The number of the bioptic examinations permanently increases. 4. The participation of the pathological institutes of the faculties in the routine necroptic and bioptic activity shows the decreasing tendency (26% ov all autopsies and 35% of all biopsies are performed by above mentioned institutes). This is caused by the foundation of the new pathological department directed by the Public Health Service.
