Preventable diagnostic errors of lower gastrointestinal perforation: a secondary analysis of a large-scale multicenter retrospective study
Our retrospective study results indicate that approximately half of the cases with delayed diagnosis of LGP were due to problems in interpreting CT images or in clinical reasoning. This finding suggests that clinical reasoning and image interpretation by radiologists are important in improving the diagnostic process for LGP.
