We conducted a retrospective study of the autopsies performed during a 28-month period in the Department of Medicine of the Hôpital Albert Schweitzer in Haiti. We found that of 77 autopsies, the main clinical diagnosis was not confirmed at autopsy in 15 patients (19.5%). The results obtained at autopsy would have changed the treatment in 19 patients (24.7%) and the new therapeutical regimens could have had a significant impact on the outcome in six patients (7.8%). Important new information was also gained from the macroscopical examination only. The authors stress the value of the post-mortem examination in areas with limited resources.
我们对海地阿尔贝特·施韦泽医院内科在28个月期间进行的尸检进行了一项回顾性研究。我们发现，在77例尸检中，15例患者（19.5%）的主要临床诊断在尸检时未得到证实。尸检结果会改变19例患者（24.7%）的治疗方案，新的治疗方案可能会对6例患者（7.8%）的预后产生重大影响。仅通过宏观检查也获得了重要的新信息。作者强调了在资源有限地区进行尸检的价值。
