Article Synopsis
- Placental examination is key for understanding preterm birth (PTB) and this study compares the diagnoses made by general surgical pathologists (GSP) and a perinatal pathologist (PP) for preterm placentas from 2009 to 2018.
- The analysis of 331 placentas revealed that GSPs often missed significant findings, with nearly half having no diagnoses, while the PP identified more cases of acute inflammation and other issues.
- Overall, there was a lack of agreement between GSP and PP diagnoses for most placental conditions, highlighting the need for educational improvements and changes to enhance the reliability of placental pathology reports.
