The formula to calculate Adjusted Hospital Autopsy Rate =

Total number of hospital autopsies X 100/ Total number of deaths of hospital patients whose bodies are available for hospital autopsy

Total number of hospital autopsies: 75

Total number of deaths of hospital patients whose bodies are available for hospital autopsy i.e. 225- 10 = 215

(Total number of hospital deaths , 225 - medical examiners cases, 10)

Adjusted Hospital Autopsy Rate = 75 x100 /215 = 34.88
