“…However this only amounted to 54 studies in total as some artices described different tests from the same study. Of the 134 indirect evidence papers or abstracts, 133 were synthesised41–174 as well as a single trial record 175. None of the seven included trials identified from trial registries reported interim or final results and only four remain active 176–179.…”

ObjectivesTo assess the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive or minimally invasive autopsy techniques in deaths under 1 year of age.DesignThis is a systematic review of diagnostic test accuracy. The protocol is registered on PROSPERO.ParticipantsDeaths from conception to one adjusted year of age.Search methodsMEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), the Cochrane Library, Scopus and grey literature sources were searched from inception to November 2021.Diagnostic testsNon-invasive or minimally invasive diagnostic tests as an alternative to traditional autopsy.Data collection and analysisStudies were included if participants were under one adjusted year of age, with index tests conducted prior to the reference standard.Data were extracted from eligible studies using piloted forms. Risk of bias was assessed using Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2. A narrative synthesis was conducted following the Synthesis without Meta-Analysis guidelines. Vote counting was used to assess the direction of effect.Main outcome measuresDirection of effect was expressed as percentage of patients per study.FindingsWe included 54 direct evidence studies (68 articles/trials), encompassing 3268 cases and eight index tests. The direction of effect was positive for postmortem ultrasound and antenatal echography, although with varying levels of success. Conversely, the direction of effect was against virtual autopsy. For the remaining tests, the direction of effect was inconclusive.A further 134 indirect evidence studies (135 articles/trials) were included, encompassing 6242 perinatal cases. The addition of these results had minimal impact on the direct findings yet did reveal other techniques, which may be favourable alternatives to autopsy.Seven trial registrations were included but yielded no results.ConclusionsCurrent evidence is insufficient to make firm conclusions about the generalised use of non-invasive or minimally invasive autopsy techniques in relation to all perinatal population groups.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021223254.

“…Ultrasonography is an essential method for the diagnosis of the majority of fetal malformations, but post-mortem examinations can yield an indispensable quality control as well as additional information to ultrasound examinations. [ 2 ] I wonder whether post-mortem examination was done for the succumbed fetuses in the studied cohort. I presume that absence of postmortem examination together with the notion that too little is known about the physiological development of the fetal urinary tract in ultrasonography and hence, inability to safely differentiate between physiological and pathological development[ 3 ] might alter the concordance frequency of antennal and postnatal diagnosis of CAKUT (90.1%) addressed by Bondagji.…”
