title: [Questions of quality and its assessment in rendering medical aid to patients with cerebral tumors].
abstract: A retrospective analysis of 231 case histories of patients with cerebral tumors treated at different hospitals of St. Petersburg in 2009 and expert assessment of the quality of medical care were made. Most frequent defects of medical care were established which were systematized in 3 main groups depending on their influence on the state and results of treatment of the patient: significant, minimally significant and not significant. They were: different errors in pre- and postoperative examinations, medical and surgical strategy as well as making up medical documentation. Significant defects were revealed in 75%, minimally significant--in 47% and not significant--in 83% of observations. In most cases there was a combination of defects of different groups (79-90%). Assessment of the quality of medical care on the basis of the groups established allows the aimed clinical-organizational liquidation of them.
