Common acquired naevi and the risk of malignant melanoma
Abstract
The relationship between common acquired naevi and malignant melanoma of the skin was assessed in a case‐control study. In 183 patients and 183 controls matched for sex, age and area of residence, there was a strong association between the presence of pigmented naevi on the arms and melanoma. In comparison with persons having no naevi on the arms, the crude relative risk of melanoma was 28.0 when naevi were present. After adjusting for hair colour, propensity to sunburn and lifetime sun exposure, the final risk estimate was 30. 1. Family history did not appear to be a determinant of disease independent of the above risk factors.

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.
