There was not significant correlation between the percentages of negligence or malpractice with age, sex, measures taken, the experience and expertise of the physician (p> 0. 05). Malpractice rate was significantly higher in non-emergency cases versus emergency (43. 3 vs 33. 6%) (p= 0. 04). However, there was no significant correlation between the percentage of negligence and malpractice with urgency of act and site of medical service (p>0. 05).
