An enquiry into the attitudes of clinical consultants to autopsies was conducted by questionnaire. Responses indicate that most of the consultants accept that the autopsy is important in hospital practice and in teaching. There are, however, marked differences of view on the reasons for doing autopsies, and on the results of autopsies (e.g. in altering diagnoses or revealing unsuspected pathology), differences which influence the freqeuncy with which autopsies are requested. Some clinicians believe that increasing resistance by relatives to granting permission contributes to the falling rates, but this is a minority view. Clinicians also vary in their reactions to the falling rate, some regarding it as worrying while others are not concerned.
通过问卷调查对临床会诊医生对尸检的态度进行了调查。调查结果表明，大多数会诊医生都认为尸检在医院实践和教学中很重要。然而，对于进行尸检的原因以及尸检结果（例如改变诊断或发现意外病变），存在明显的意见分歧，这些分歧影响了请求尸检的频率。一些临床医生认为，亲属越来越抵制给予许可导致了尸检率的下降，但这只是少数人的观点。临床医生对尸检率下降的反应也各不相同，一些人认为这令人担忧，而另一些人则并不在意。
