Results obtained from autopsy are parameters of importance to efficacy of diagnosis and therapy. To enable better overseeability of higher numbers of cases, the necessary congruence between clinical and postmortem diagnoses should be consistently settled on the basis of identical criteria used by clinicians and pathologists. Aspects relating to the problem are discussed in some detail, and suggestions are made on how to formulate final evaluations in postmortem reports.
