Neonatal autopsies give valuable information

Over a quarter of neonatal autopsies yield important new information, and in 3% of cases this information is crucial for future counselling. Brodlie and colleagues (p 761) say that these findings are likely to be of use to bereaved families when they are considering giving permission for an autopsy. They are also relevant in view of the recent negative publicity surrounding neonatal autopsies and the general decline in the neonatal autopsy rate.
