Comparative agreement of clinical diagnoses and neonatal autopsy findings in a tertiary care center
This study highlights the critical role of neonatal autopsies in identifying major and minor histopathological findings that contribute to neonatal mortality. The significant discrepancies between clinical and pathological diagnoses underscore the need for comprehensive postmortem evaluations to enhance diagnostic accuracy. By integrating histopathological and microbiological analyses, this study emphasizes the value of autopsies in improving neonatal care and guiding clinical practice.
