Audit in Obstetrics and Gynaecology

Medical audit is now a major part of clinical practice in all disciplines. The practice of obstetrics and gynaecology is not only extremely demanding on hospital resources, but constantly presents practitioners with the threat of litigation. The importance of recording and monitoring the results of obstetric and gynaecological practice is therefore obvious. This book provides a practical approach, a definition of audit and covering information requirements. It goes on to analyze care and examine mortality and morbidity data, out- and in-patient studies, and audit of cytology, colposcopy and gynaecological oncology, as well as infertility and urological gynaecology.
