This document discusses various autopsy rates used in hospitals including gross, net, adjusted hospital, newborn, and fetal autopsy rates. It defines what an autopsy is and provides formulas for calculating each type of autopsy rate. Key information includes that a gross autopsy rate includes all inpatient autopsies over all inpatient deaths, while a net rate excludes cases removed by coroners or medical examiners. An adjusted hospital rate reflects autopsies performed on bodies available to the hospital. Newborn and fetal rates reflect autopsies only on those types of deaths.
