Sincehen there are many problem about sudden death among foreign workers.his retrospective study is to review medicolegal autopsy cases of suddeneath about foreign workers in Taiwan from the record of Institute oforensic Medicine, Ministry of Justice. The cases were collected fromanuary 2000 to December 2005. The criteria of accepted for analysisere:1. eye-witness persons being alive within last 24 hours or theeceased was witnessed to die. 2. inability to determine the manner ofeath after scene investigation. 3. by forensic autopsy including completeoxicological analysis. There are 210 cases were discussed, 143 suddeneath, 63 accident death and 4 undetermined. In sudden death cases, thereere 117 men and 26 women. The nationality were Thailand 66%, thehilippines 17%, Indonesia 11%, Vietnam 5%, Combodia 1% andyanmar 1%. Their age ranged from 19-55 years old, and the peak was at5-44 middle age group. The most common site of death wasospital(54%), the second was the dormitory(34%). The cardiovascularystem(66%) was most common cause of death of organ systems, otherere neurological system(9%), respiratory system(8%), Suddennexplained Death Syndrome(SUDS)(6%) in order. In sudden cardiaceath, Cardiomyopathy was leading cause of death(35.7%), and coronaryisease(11.2%), heart conducting system problem(6%) and Suddennexplained Death Syndrome(6%) in order. The natural sudden death ofortality rate in foreign workers in 2005 was 7.9, in 2004 was 5.7, in 2003as 4.998. The heart weight of sudden cardiac death(SCD) were 387.99±7.46gm, compare to non-SCD group was significantly(p<0.5);The heart weight of Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome(346.13±30.90) compare toCD group was not significantly. We know the natural sudden death ofortality rate of foreign workers in Taiwan. Most cause of death wasardiomyopathy. The health examination of foreigner should take specialardiac examination into account to let employer pay attention to theiroreign workers. Besides, accident death was mostly drowning(22%), theecond were suffocation and falling. These also give us a hint to preventoreign worker’s accident. |
