[Autopsy results and malpractice expert assessment].
39 deaths, in which medical malpractice was suspected and forensic autopsy therefore was carried through, were examinated. Among 22 cases with manifest malpractice not sufficient diagnosis, not adequate anamnesis and mistakes related with surgical treatment are dominant. If any deciding factors refer to medical malpractice, a specialists opinion of the respective discipline should be taken together with medicolegal opinion. In such cases it proved to be useful, when medicolegal expert has a coordinating function.
