TETANUS: ITS INCIDENCE AND TREATMENT
Abstract
THE INCIDENCE OF TETANUS The present inquiry has been instigated by the occurrence of a case in which tetanus developed and proved fatal in an entirely unsuspected industrial accident; unsuspected both from the circumstances of the injury and the nature of the wound itself. Reference to government reports shows that in the U. S. Registration area the number of deaths per year from tetanus is about 1,500. Not a large figure perhaps but too large for a preventable disease and one for which we have a presumably specific antitoxin. The principal points to be inquired into seemed to be: (1) How much of a burden is this disease to industry? (2) Can definite plans be developed for more systematic prophylactic injections of antitetanic serum? (3) Can the present very unsatisfactory plans of treatment be improved? In order to get information from widespread sources, 2,000 questionnaires were sent to the entire

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.
