Objective To explore the application of digital pathological technology and digital pathological diagnosis in primary hospitals. Methods A total of 18 688 cases of pathological diagnosis reported in two hospitals from January 2018 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Cases from January to December 2018 were included in group A (n=8 400), and cases from January to December 2019 were included in group B (n=10 288).Yunkang remote pathology consultation platform was adopted. All cases in turn were scanned and bound to the corresponding cases of the platform software by number. The same pathologist and different remote pathological platform experts completed the preliminary and follow-up respectively, to evaluate the accuracy of remote pathological diagnosis at the first and second diagnosis by releasing the expert team in the third audit. Results In group A, the pathologists correctly diagnosed 6 569 cases, with an accuracy rate of 78.20%, The correct diagnosis rate of 8 215 cases was 97.80%,The primary pathologists in group B correctly diagnosed 9 444 cases, with an accuracy rate of 91.80%.The correct diagnosis rate of 10 102 cases was 98.19%,In the two groups of pathological diagnosis, the diagnostic accuracy rate of pathologists in group B was higher than that in group A.The difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).The accuracy of pathologists in the two groups was compared.The difference was not statistically significant (P >0.05). Conclusion Daily development of digital pathological technology and digital pathological diagnosis can effectively improve the diagnosis level of grassroots doctors. It is worthy of extensive and long-term application in primary hospitals.
