On the causes of diagnostic errors in recognizing a disease of internal organs

Abstract

Based on the study of more than 40 classifications of the causes of diagnostic errors, a classification of the main deontological factors involved in the occurrence of diagnostic errors has been compiled. A special technique was used to study the material 601 of the case history with diagnostic errors. It turned out that in 78.4% of the sources of medical errors in one way or another were deontological factors (insufficiently collected information about the patient or. Its incorrect interpretation).
