Definitive guidelines for the classification of cases in Veterinary Forensic Medicine (VFM) are lacking [1]. An attempt to classify lesions observed in forensic autopsies was proposed by Marchetti et al. [2] following the codes of the ICD-11. IZSAM database is designed to identify cases of forensic pathology on the basis of pre-coded information on wildlife mortality and animal poisonings at acceptance. Alternative forensic documentary sources are not pre-coded autopsy diagnoses requiring interpretation of laboratory results (test reports with opinion). In VFM, the classification of cases can be carried out as follow: (1) data analysis phase, (2) study and classification of the opinions by applying labels related to main forensic topics, and (3) classification into categories and subcategories of diagnosis.

Abstract
Definitive guidelines for the classification of cases in Veterinary Forensic Medicine (VFM) are lacking [1]. An attempt to classify lesions observed in forensic autopsies was proposed by Marchetti et al. [2] following the codes of the ICD-11. IZSAM database is designed to identify cases of forensic pathology on the basis of pre-coded information on wildlife mortality and animal poisonings at acceptance. Alternative forensic documentary sources are not pre-coded autopsy diagnoses requiring interpretation of laboratory results (test reports with opinion). In VFM, the classification of cases can be carried out as follow: (1) data analysis phase, (2) study and classification of the opinions by applying labels related to main forensic topics, and (3) classification into categories and subcategories of diagnosis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
