title: [Iatrogenic diseases in children based on the data from pathologicoanatomic autopsies].
abstract: Iatrogenic diseases were studied on the material of 500 autopsies taken without selection of children who died in 1988-1989. Iatrogenic diseases were found in 185 cases (37%), most frequently at the age of 7-28 days (65.8% of all dead children), least frequently at the age up to 7 days (18.5%). Total number of iatrogenic diseases (270) exceeded the number of observations. Nosological structure is given: complications of reanimation and intensive therapy were most frequent (71.5% of all iatrogenesis), surgical iatrogenesis was 19.2%. Iatrogenic diseases were the only cause of death or an important factor in the death in 13.6% of all autopsies of children born alive.
