SPINAL CORD COMPRESSION STUDIES: IV. Outlook with Complete Paralysis in Man
Abstract
IT IS DESIRABLE, of course, to be able to predict the probable outcome of an illness with and without treatment. The physician can then evaluate therapy and inform the patient or his family and friends of the outlook. Up to the present time, however, in cases of complete paralysis due to a spinal injury or a neoplasm it has been possible to make only a grave and uncertain prognosis. Generalizations on prognosis in such cases have been made, but they all share the weakness of not being accompanied by the evidence on which they were based. They, therefore, lack the precision necessary for them to be especially helpful clinically. REVIEW OF LITERATURE A. Spinal Cord Injuries.— In referring to traumatic lesions of the spinal cord, Alcock 13 cited Riddoch as saying, for example, that immediately following the injury there may be absolute loss of function in the cord below the

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
