[Complex assessment of iatrogenic diseases].
Examination of data from 1042 autopsies and case records enabled the authors to schematically systematize iatrogenies and to divide them into 6 types: Group I iatrogenies, true iatrogenies, minus-signed iatrogenies, iatrogenic episodes, background and concurrent iatrogenies. They also singled out outpatient, emergency, and inhospital iatrogenies; preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic ones; fatal and non-fatal; operational, medicamentous, bioptic, etc.; according to the specialization, the author distinguished surgical, therapeutic, psychiatric, organizational, etc. iatrogenies. Iatrogeny was proposed as a criterion for assessing the activities of medical workers and health services.
