BACKGROUND: Stillbirth continues to pose a significant public health challenge. Autopsy and placental assessments are recognized as the gold standard for stillbirth investigation. The utility of these procedures can vary based on the quality of the examination. The aim of this study is to determine the quality of placenta pathology reporting in Australia in the context of a stillbirth.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Placenta pathology reports from stillbirths were reviewed from 18 maternity hospital from 2013 to 2018. The Khong tool was used to produce a placenta quality score (PQS), by a blinded panel of assessors to the cause of death. Outcome measures were the number of reports achieving the minimal acceptable score (MAS) of 75% or a poor score (PS) of 50% of the PQS.
RESULTS: 560 placental pathology reports of which 494 were singleton and 66 were twin placentas. 282 (50%) achieved the MAS score. Macroscopic items were recorded well and microscopic items recorded poorly.
CONCLUSIONS: The standard of placenta pathology reporting can be improved in Australia. The use of templates or checklists for both macroscopic descriptions and histological reporting is recommended to ensure all key components are described.
