RESUMO
The article is devoted to the current legal responsibility of medical staff. It is noted that this issue has not been sufficiently studied and requires further research. The article identifies an attempt to assess statistically significant correlation between defects of medical care provision and data of causal analysis as a research task. The practical experience on 215 conclusions of commission forensic medical examinations, in which doctors of surgical specialties were considered on «medical cases¼, has been summarized. A high statistically significant correlation between defects in treatment, diagnosis, organization of medical care, management of medical records and data of causal relationship has been established on the basis of performed scientific researches. The idea that, despite possible subjectivism, the causal relationship is confirmed by factual data on revealed defects in medical care obtained from the study, has been proven.

The study objective was to identify the causality between defects in medical care (MC) and the occurrence of fatal outcomes (FO). The object of the study was 209 reports of commission forensic medical examinations of the National Bureau of Expertises of the Republic of Armenia for the period from 2013 to 2020. Defects in MC were classified as follows: diagnostic defects, treatment defects, defects in the organization of medical care, defects in the maintenance of medical records. According to the data of 160 reports of forensic medical examinations, 313 defects in HC were recorded. Diagnostic defects and treatment defects were the most common, while the least common were defects in the organization of HC. Causality between the incidence of defects in HC and the likelihood of fatal outcome was revealed.
