CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROSIS IN DIABETES MELLITUS: A POSTMORTEM STUDY

ROOT, HOWARD F., BLAND, EDWARD F., GORDON, WILLIAM H., WHITE, PAUL D.·1939·Journal of the American Medical Association

Abstract

Coronary atherosclerosis manifested clinically by angina pectoris and coronary thrombosis has become an increasingly important cause of disability and death in the United States, especially among the business and professional leaders of the community. Its unusual frequency in patients with diabetes mellitus makes a study of the possible factors responsible for this increase important not only in relation to diabetes but also to coronary disease in the general population. More than one half of the 500,000 living diabetic patients in the United States are destined to die of some form of occlusive vascular disease, of which coronary sclerosis is the most important. Among nondiabetic patients, coronary artery disease is apparently largely responsible for the relatively recent and striking increase in deaths from heart disease in middle and late life. Between 1930 and 1934 the mortality from recognized coronary disease increased from 4.7 to 18.8 per hundred thousand in the experience

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.
