Delayed Diagnosis, Legal Nurse Consultant, Lawyer/Attorney Resources, Legal Nurse Consultant Resources, Medical, Malpractice, Health Law:"One of the most common types of medical malpractice cases is misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of cancer. This is particularly true of breast cancer, which, according to various reports, represents the largest segment of medical malpractice lawsuits in the U.S. One reason for this is the fact that breast cancer is so common relative to other forms of cancer."

Ankylosing Spondylitis: Often A Delayed Or Difficult Diagnosis, About.com:"The AS (Ankylosing Spondylitis) Life Impact Survey was conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of the SAA (Spondylitis Association of America). With a goal of learning more about people with ankylosing spondylitis and how the disease impacts their daily lives, Harris surveyed 1,996 adults by mail and 194 online between July 3 and October 4, 2002. The survey respondents claimed they had ankylosing spondylitis and had some contact with the SAA. A second sample group of 194 patients with ankylosing spondylitis were physician-referred."

Cholecystitis Is Complicated by Delayed Diagnosis, American Academy of Family Physicians:"Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is now widely used as surgical treatment of acute cholecystitis. In difficult cases, the surgery may require conversion to an open approach, with a consequent rise in morbidity and the rate of complications. Eldar and colleagues studied the factors associated with conversion from LC to open surgery. In particular, they investigated the impact of patient delay in presenting for medical attention and delay in diagnosis on the surgical outcome."

TB Diagnosis Delayed in Whites, Women: UK Study, TheBody.com:"Delay between the onset of tuberculosis and its diagnosis or treatment is significantly longer in white people compared with black or Asian people, and in women compared with men, British researchers reported recently. "TB is rising at an alarming rate in London, and if it is not diagnosed quickly, patients can develop more severe illness or transmit the disease to other people," said Dr. Alison Rodger, the study's lead author. "There have recently been big campaigns of TB awareness amongst ethnic minority groups, but our data suggest that campaigns also need to be targeted at white people, who comprise a third of cases," she said."

Delayed Diagnosis of Cancer, The Doctors Company:"The Doctors Company continues to see increases in litigation alleging the failure to diagnose cancer at the earliest opportunity. The potential impact of these suits is substantial.
Three primary factors contribute to this heightened awareness and increased litigation:
Cancer is extraordinarily common in our society. Approximately one in every four Americans will develop cancer, and 60 percent of these cases will prove fatal.
Few other diagnoses provoke the visceral emotional response that cancer does.
There has been a major public emphasis on the critical importance of early detection."

Medical Malpractice Attorney: Delayed Cancer Diagnosis, Injuryfirms.com:"One of the most common types of medical malpractice cases is misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of cancer. This is particularly true of breast cancer, which, according to various reports, represents the largest segment of medical malpractice lawsuits in the U.S. One reason for this is the fact that breast cancer is so common relative to other forms of cancer. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the U.S. and the leading cause of death for women ages 40 to 55. Despite this, many women who develop breast cancer and could be treated are denied the opportunity when physicians negligently fail to diagnose their condition until it is too late. The result of this negligence is often the loss of treatment options and/or the chance of survival. The following are examples of some of the more common acts of negligence by physicians in failing to timely diagnose and/or treat breast cancer."

Misdiagnosis and medical malpractice: Medical Malpractice, Wrongdiagnosis.com:"Misdiagnosis and medical malpractice: Many people assume that medical malpractice is mainly about surgical errors. However, the highest dollar payouts are often related to misdiagnosis, failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis of a severe medical condition. The top five diseases in terms of dollar payouts include breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, heart attack, and appendicitis. In all these diseases, the typical allegations are misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis by failing to notice the disease or mismanaging the diagnostic testing process. Delayed diagnosis of heart attack or appendicitis can rapidly lead to death, and delay in diagnosing cancer can lead to a much poorer prognosis once the cancer is ultimately discovered."

Delayed Diagnosis of Primary HIV Infection after Presentation to the Health Care System, Retroconference.org:"We analyzed 28 patients diagnosed with PHI between 1998 and August 2001 who were enrolled in a clinical trial at Duke University, University of North Carolina, or Emory University. Data collected included patient demographics, where patients first presented, how many times they were seen before PHI was diagnosed, who made the diagnosis of PHI, what other diagnoses/treatments were given, and time from initial presentation to PHI diagnosis."
