Explanation / Answer
Question Number 1:
Answer : D. 84.6%
Explanation:
Adjusted hospital autopsy rate = 100 * ( Total hospital autopsies / total number of deaths of hospital patients whose bodies are available for autopsy)
Note:
Therefore,
Adjusted hospital autopsy rate = 100 * {(A&C autopsies+NB Autopsies + outpatients Autopsies) / (A&C deaths + NB Deaths +Outpatients Deaths - Coroners)}
Filling in the values ,
Adjusted hospital Autopsy rate = 100 * {(38 + 12+ 5) / (53 + 25 + 5 -18)}
Adjusted Hospital Autopsy rate = 100 *{55 / 65}
Adjusted Hospital Autopsy rate = 84.6%
Question Number 2:
Answer : C. 64.1%
Explanation:
Gross hospital autopsy rate = !00 * (total inpatients autopsies / total inpatients deaths)
Note: Fetuses and outpatients are not considered here.
Gross hospital autopsy rate = 100*{(A&C autopsies+NB Autopsies) / (A&C deaths + NB Deaths)}
Filling the values,
Gross hospital autopsy rate = 100 *{(38 + 12)/(53+25)}
Gross hospital autopsy rate = 100 *{50/78}
Gross hospital autopsy rate = 64.1%
Question number 3:
Answer: B. 48%
Explanation:
Newborn autopsy rate = 100 * (newborn autopsies / newborn deaths)
Filling the values,
Newborn autopsy rate = 100 * (12 / 25)
Newborn autopsy rate =48%
Question Number 4:
Answer : A. Percentage.
