title: [Forty-five cases on re-assessing the personal disability].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the reasons for the alterations of the conclusions in re-assessment for personal disability in road traffic accidents, work-related accidents and other accidents.
  
  
  METHODS
  Forty five cases of re-assessing the personal disability from 2007 to 2009 in our institute were collected and analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The disability grade of 12 cases (26.7%) was altered in re-assessment. The reasons for the alternation included assessment standard items misquoted, assessment time mischosen, injury misdiagnosed and omitted, artificial prostheses mismanaged, injury-disease relationship erroneous judgment and disability grade promoted incorrectly.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The attention for assessment of disability grade should been paid to correct time for assessment, correct items of identification standard, appropriate medical and forensic technology, and correct understand about all relevant regulations.
