title: [Quality control in medicine. Analysis of death certificate entries with a personal computer].
abstract: Important information obtained from autopsies may be statistically evaluated by means of decentralized data processing, using the personal computer. A method for precise evaluation of death certificates against autoptic findings is described in this paper. This computer-assisted approach facilitates statistical analysis of mortality and supports the accuracy of clinical diagnoses.
