The importance of fetal autopsy: An institutional review and development of best practices for reporting size and estimating gestational age at demise

CONCLUSIONS: "Best practice" suggestions for sizing and dating fetuses/neonates in the postmortem period have been developed to aid in delivering clear, consistent reports. Because fetal and neonatal autopsy is an invaluable tool for understanding the factors that contribute to stillbirth, it is important to use appropriate sizing and dating methods and consistent language to deliver proper patient education and clinical guidance.PMID:37921079 | DOI:10.1093/ajcp/aqad147
