Comparatively few pathologists seem to know of the existence of the confidential enquiry into maternal deaths and fewer still know anything of its aims or its methods of obtaining confidential information. As the success of any such enquiry depends greatly on the accuracy and completeness of necropsy, histological, and other laboratory reports a brief account of the report itself and the role of pathologists in it may not be out of place.
相对而言,似乎很少有病理学家知晓孕产妇死亡情况保密调查的存在,而对其目的或获取保密信息的方法有所了解的人更是少之又少。由于任何此类调查的成功在很大程度上取决于尸检、组织学及其他实验室报告的准确性和完整性,因此简要介绍一下该报告本身以及病理学家在其中所起的作用或许并非不妥。
