Note: for information on how to code the Survive / Expired / Autopsy field see there.
The Autopsy field is used in TMSX to store whether a deceased patient had an autopsy. At the collection end this is actually coded in a combined field, Survive / Expired / Autopsy field to prevent the unfortunate combination survive - autopsy.
- Autopsy field - YES or NO.
