| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The lung post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) findings were classified into some types: almost none, oedema spread via the airways, inhomogeneous oedema extending to the subpleura, inhomogeneous oedema with subpleural sparing, diffuse oedema, major hypostasis, minor hypostasis, and other. Most hypothermia cases were the “almost none” PMCT type. Diagnostic performance of hypothermia based on lung findings resulted in a sensitivity of 75%, specificity of 99%, PPV of 86%, NPV of 98%, and accuracy of 96%. Most drowning cases were the “spread via the airways” or “inhomogeneous oedema extending to the subpleura” PMCT types. The diagnostic performance of drowning based on these lung findings resulted in a sensitivity of 71%, specificity of 96%, PPV of 83%, NPV of 92%, and accuracy of 91%. The lung findings of the other causes of death were non-specific.
