自1975年以来，[南非]约翰内斯堡国家职业健康中心一直在运行一个计算机系统，用于记录各种类型矿工的结构化、数字编码尸检报告的结果。历史发展，特别是与职业病补偿有关的发展，导致尸检率非常高，特别是在白人中。自成立以来，病理学自动化（PATHAUT）系统已经积累了超过33,000例尸检的结果。描述数据集是希望激发对数据可能使用的兴趣，并鼓励合作研究。讨论了具有潜在研究意义的数据库的一些特征。这些因素包括黑人和白人不同的年龄和工作模式，以及地理因素，这些因素可能会影响到是送人去检查，还是只送人去检查心肺器官。
A computerized system for recording the results of structured, numerically coded autopsy reports on various types of mine workers has been in operation at the National Centre for Occupational Health in Johannesburg [South Africa] since, 1975. Historical developments, particularly those associated with compensation for occupational disease, have resulted in very high autopsy rates, especially among whites. Since its inception, the pathology automation (PATHAUT) system has accumulated the results of more than 33,000 autopsies. The data set is described in the hope of stimulating interest in the possible uses of the data and encouraging collaborative research. Some characteristics of the database with potential research implications are discussed. These include differing age and work patterns for blacks and whites and geographic factors with potential influence on whether a body or only the cardiorespiratory organs are sent for examination.
