ABSTRACT

Clinicopathological correlation makes it possible to know the cause of errors, both in common life and in medical practice. An investigation with the aim of establishing the clinicopathological correlation by using the classification proposed in the Automated System of Registration and Control of Pathological Anatomy, was carried out. A multi-causal approach to death, with class I and II of the Goldman classification modified by Battle for diagnostic discrepancies, was used. A descriptive and cross-sectional research was used and premortem diagnoses of 68 deceased with autopsies at the "Manuel Fajardo Rivero" Hospital in 2017, were evaluated. The importance of multicausal studies and the usefulness of the clinicopathological correlation in improving the quality of premortem diagnoses, were highlighted.
