What is the Adjusted hospital autopsy rate?

Explanation / Answer

adjusted hospital Autopsy rate: (total hospital autopsies/totalnumber of death of hopital patientswhose bodies are available for autopsies) x 100

total hospital autopsies= 12+2=14

totalnumber of death of hopital patients= 54+3+4+5+3=69

whose bodies are available for autopsies=4

totalnumber of death of hopital patientswhose bodies are available for autopsies=69-4=65

enter values in formula

adjusted hospital Autopsy rate: (total hospital autopsies/totalnumber of death of hopital patientswhose bodies are available for autopsies) x 100
