Citations in the corpus
- Brain metastases: epidemiology and pathophysiology (2005, background): “New autopsy data are unlikely to be forthcoming because autopsy rates in the United States are now only about 5% [15] despite, or perhaps because of, the evidence that autopsies continue to detect a significant percentage of errors that could have affected patient outcome [15,16].”
- Introduction to artificial intelligence in medicine (2019, background): “The driving force for this adaptation was the high medical and medication error rates [25 – 27], as well as the high cost, and low productivity in this area.”
- The Swedish cause of death register (2017, background): “Nonetheless, this does not necessarily imply lower data quality since there have been great developments in diagnostic practices and procedures in the last decades, helping to ensuring correct diagnoses before death with fewer diagnostic errors detected at autopsy [11].”
- Malpractice Risk According to Physician Specialty (2011, background): “Indeed, a recent international review suggests that the rate of discordance between the clinical diagnosis and the pathologic diagnosis of death in the United States is approximately 24%, and that major diagnoses are undetected clinically in at least 8% of hospital deaths in the United States.(1) Cl”
- Improving Diagnosis in Health Care (2015, neutral): “4 percent (71,400 deaths) have a major diagnosis that remains undetected (Shojania et al., 2003).”
- Clinical decision support systems for improving diagnostic accuracy and achieving precision medicine (2015, background): “Error rates have diminished during the past 40 years, but may still be as high as 24.4% [28].”
