Note: for information on how to code the Survive / Expired see there.
The Autopsy field was used in TMSX to store whether a deceased patient had an autopsy. At the collection end this was actually coded as part of the Survive / Expired to prevent the unfortunate combination survive - autopsy. Collection ceased for good in the fall 2010
- Autopsy field - YES or NO.
