Abstract

Background & Aim: Regarding the invasiveness of medical cares provided by surgeons, they are the main target of MALPRACTICE claims. So acquainting surgical team including surgeon and anesthesiologist with litigation predisposing factors and predicting factors of physician incrimination at lawsuits is of great importance. The purposes of this study are determining risk factors of physician incrimination and evaluating efficiency of judgments of Mashad Medical Council.Materials & Methods: Data about patient, physician, disease, management, litigation, and judicial authority were obtained from the latest 100 MALPRACTICE claims judged at medical council of Mashad in which surgeon or anesthesiologist was sued. Data were analyzed by SPSS software.Results: of 1057 lawsuits during a five years period (1999-2003) 56% were against surgical team. Of 100 cases studied, 10% resulted in physician s incrimination. In a univariate analysis predicting factors of physician s losing the case were: occurrence of negligent complication, providing substandard medical care, working as an anesthesiologist, plaintiff being juridical, litigating at other authorities in addition to medical council, occurrence of complication during the first 24 hours of treatment, litigating during the first 3 months after treatment. In multivariate analysis only the first two factors had independent predicting values.Conclusion: Negligent complications and substandard medical care are the two major risk factors of surgical team incrimination at MALPRACTICE claims; so it can be concluded that judgments of Mashad Medical Council are properly efficient compared to some other studies. Preventive effects of MALPRACTICE claims should be increased by improving sensitivity and specificity of judicial authorities.
