When Covid 19 began, various health agencies in India started making protocols and standard ooperating procedures including conducting autopsies in COVID-19 infected bodies. Aims and Objectives:-Aim of our study is to analyze cause of death among all covid 19 positive cases brought for medicolegal autopsies from the time of lockdown for a period of one year. Our aim is to see if there were any factors which could have prevented these deaths.

Covid-19检测阳性个体的非自然死亡:一项回顾性研究
2019年在武汉,covid - 19最初是一种快速传播的病毒性疾病。很快,它蔓延到全球,世界卫生组织宣布它为大流行。各国采取了各种措施控制疫情的蔓延和传播。当各国从疫情中恢复过来的时候,一股新的浪潮将伴随着不同的表现和病理生理。当新冠肺炎爆发时,印度各卫生机构开始制定协议和标准合作程序,包括对感染Covid -19的尸体进行尸检。目的和目标:我们的研究目的是分析自封锁期间一年内所有法医尸检的covid - 19阳性病例的死亡原因。我们的目的是看看是否有任何因素可以阻止这些死亡。材料和方法:从2020年3月25日至2021年3月24日(Covid - 19第一波),在班加罗尔的一家三级保健医院进行了为期1年的回顾性研究。结果:处理了39例covid -19阳性非自然死亡病例,年龄最小的为18岁,年龄最大的为83岁。大多数是自杀(51.28%),其次是车祸、跌伤和自然死亡。最常见的自杀方式是上吊(35.89%),其次是服毒和跳楼。结论:COVID-19是一种具有不同临床症状和病死率的病毒性感染。关于它有很多值得学习的地方。然而,如果提供一些护理、及时诊断和治疗,COVID-19病例中的自杀可能不会结束死亡。版权所有©2023,医学法律出版研究所。版权所有。
