title: [A complex method of assessing the quality of clinical diagnosis according to the results of postmortem examination].
abstract: Clinical and pathoanatomic diagnoses of the major disease (the first cause of death) were compared using the International Classification of Diseases. It was proposed to take into account 4 decisions taken by a clinician (true positive, true negative, false positive, and false negative) summarized in a four-column table. For a nosological entity, a set of parameters is then calculated, i.e. accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of clinical diagnosis. False positive and false negative diagnostic decisions taken by the clinician are also assessed. Current account of the only discrepancies between the diagnoses gives an incomplete idea of the quality of clinical diagnosis.
