Defining, exploring the sources and expressing post-mortem diagnostic uncertainty
Understanding and applying the concept of PMD uncertainty will enhance comprehension of the importance of certain post-mortem findings and improve the accuracy of autopsy result interpretation. While eliminating PMD uncertainty entirely is not feasible, standardizing investigations can reduce uncertainty, and using the PMDCS can improve the clarity of autopsy reports.
