Autopsies are crucial for neonatal deaths, confirming or correcting diagnoses in most cases. Systematic post-mortem examinations are recommended to understand causes of death and guide genetic counseling.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Pathology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Context:

  • Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setting
  • Retrospective analysis of neonatal deaths (1985-1987)
  • Evaluation of autopsy utility in neonatal mortality

Purpose:

  • To assess the diagnostic yield of autopsies in neonatal deaths
  • To determine the concordance between antemortem and postmortem findings
  • To evaluate the role of autopsies in heritable disease diagnosis and genetic counseling

Summary:

  • 90 out of 125 neonatal deaths underwent autopsy (72% rate)
  • Autopsies confirmed antemortem conclusions in 64% of cases
  • Postmortem examinations corrected antemortem findings in 28% and aided diagnosis/reassurance in heritable disease cases (4/31 diagnosed, 17/31 reassured)

  • 6.6% of autopsies provided no additional understanding; 23% required perimortem studies for contribution

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the significant diagnostic value of neonatal autopsies
    • Supports systematic autopsy requests for all neonatal deaths
    • Informs clinical practice regarding postmortem investigations and genetic counseling decisions
