Long-Term Study of One Hundred Five Patients with Cystic Fibrosis: Studies Made Over a Five- to Fourteen-Year Period

SHWACHMAN, HARRY·1958·A.M.A. Journal of Diseases of Children

Abstract

The survival beyond childhood of patients with cystic fibrosis is being noted with increasing frequency. This is explained by improved diagnostic methods, with the early recognition of mild cases, and by the application of effective therapeutic measures. The largest number of survivors beyond the age of 10 included in one report is in that of McIntosh.1However, there have been no reports dealing with the results of long-term care provided to a large group of patients with cystic fibrosis. It is obvious that the end-results of such a study would reflect diagnostic acumen, for the earlier the case is recognized and the milder the disease the better should be the end-result. It is for this reason that we have introduced a system of clinical evaluation which can be used as a measuring device to compare one patient with the next. It is well, also, to point out some of

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.
