The discrepancies between clinical and pathologo-anatomical diagnoses in the polymorbid patients presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus: the cost of the error

Abstract

The present work was designed to elucidate the frequency and the structure of polymorbidity and analyze the discrepancies between diagnoses in the patient presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus based on the results of comparison of clinical and morphological features. The study has demonstrated the high prevalence of polypathies; their contribution to the impaired accuracy of life-time diagnostics was estimated. It was shown that in the majority of the cases except for acute pyelonephritis the diagnostic errors had no significant influence of on the final outcome of the disease.
