The conventional autopsy in modern medicine
Summary In many countries, including the UK, where relatives' consent is required, clinical autopsy rates (i.e. autopsies other than those required by law) have been declining since the 1950s. In the UK, even in teaching hospitals, the clinical autopsy rate has fallen to only 10% of deaths or l...

| description | Summary
In many countries, including the UK, where relatives' consent is required, clinical
autopsy rates (i.e. autopsies other than those required by law) have been declining
since the 1950s. In the UK, even in teaching hospitals, the clinical autopsy rate has
fallen to only 10% of deaths or less. At this rate of decline, clinical autopsies –
and the pathologists who perform them – face extinction. The future practice of
medicine will be blind to the many adverse consequences of clinical actions or
omissions. The reasons for this decline are manifold and these have to be addressed
if autopsy is to stand a chance of survival. The future of autopsy lies in promoting
public support for autopsies, in some cases adapting the autopsy to address specific
questions, thus making more effective use of information from autopsies. Only by
ensuring that the next generation of doctors have experienced the powerful
educational benefit of examining the body after death will the importance of autopsy
to modern medicine be understood. |
