    Abstract This paper advances the somewhat paradoxical hypothesis that the emergence of managed care which threatens to accelerate the decline of the autopsy may, in fact, offer an opportunity for its re-emergence as an important tool of quality and cost control. A simplified autopsy-based management information structure is proposed to close the loop where information currently gleaned from the autopsy is frequently unused or underutilized in medical decision making and managed care.

    Abstract Background: We previously investigated trends in subclinical coronary artery disease and associated risk factors among autopsied non-elderly adults who died from nonnatural causes. Although grade of atherosclerosis declined from 1981 through 2009, the trend was nonlinear, ending in 1995, concurrent with increasing obesity/diabetes in this population. The previous study used linear regression and examined trends for all 4 major epicardial coronary arteries combined. The present investigation of coronary artery disease trends for the period 1995 through 2012 was prompted by a desire for more detailed examination of more recent coronary artery disease trends in light of reports that the epidemics of obesity and diabetes have slowed and are perhaps ending.
    Methods: This population-based series of cross-sectional investigations identified all Olmsted County, Minnesota residents aged 16-64 years who died 1995 through 2012 (N = 2931). For decedents with nonnatural manner of death, pathology reports were reviewed for grade of atherosclerosis assigned each major epicardial coronary artery. Using logistic regression, we estimated calendar-year trends in grade (unadjusted and age- and sex-adjusted) for each artery, initially as an ordinal measure (range, 0-4); then, based on evidence of nonproportional odds, as a dichotomous variable (any atherosclerosis, yes/no) and as an ordinal measure for persons with atherosclerosis (range, 1-4).
    Results: Of 474 nonnatural deaths, 453 (96%) were autopsied; 426 (90%) had coronary stenosis graded. In the ordinal-logistic model for trends in coronary artery disease grade (range, 0-4), the proportional odds assumption did not hold. In subsequent analysis as a dichotomous outcome (grades 0 vs 1-4), each artery exhibited a significant temporal decline in the proportion with any atherosclerosis. Conversely, for subjects with coronary artery disease grade 1-4, age- and sex-adjusted ordinal regression revealed no change over time in 2 arteries and statistically significant temporal increases in severity in 2 arteries.
    Conclusions: Findings suggest that efforts to prevent coronary artery disease onset have been relatively successful. However, statistically significant increases in the grade of atherosclerosis in 2 arteries among persons with coronary artery disease may be indicative of a major public health challenge.

    Abstract Background: Our previous study of nonelderly adult decedents with nonnatural (accident, suicide, or homicide) cause of death (96% autopsy rate) between 1981 and 2004 revealed that the decline in subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD) ended in the mid-1990s. The present study investigated the contributions of trends in obesity and diabetes mellitus to patterns of subclinical CAD and explored whether the end of the decline in CAD persisted.
    Methods and results: We reviewed provider-linked medical records for all residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, who died from nonnatural causes within the age range of 16 to 64 years between 1981 and 2009 and who had CAD graded at autopsy. We estimated trends in CAD risk factors including age, sex, systolic blood pressure, diabetes (qualifying fasting glucose or medication), body mass index, smoking, and diagnosed hyperlipidemia. Using multiple regression, we tested for significant associations between trends in CAD risk factors and CAD grade and assessed the contribution of trends in diabetes and obesity to CAD trends. The 545 autopsied decedents with recorded CAD grade exhibited significant declines between 1981 and 2009 in systolic blood pressure and smoking and significant increases in blood pressure medication, diabetes, and body mass index ≥30 kg/m(2). An overall decline in CAD grade between 1981 and 2009 was nonlinear and ended in 1994. Trends in obesity and diabetes contributed to the end of CAD decline.
    Conclusions: Despite continued reductions in smoking and blood pressure values, the previously observed end to the decline in subclinical CAD among nonelderly adult decedents was apparent through 2009, corresponding with increasing obesity and diabetes in that population.
