Abstract

All cases of primary adrenocortical tumors, including those found incidentally, recorded in the Pathological Autopsy Case Annuals of Japan during a 12 year period from 1973 to 1984 were surveyed. Age- and sex-specific incidences of lesions were estimated from the population, mortality and autopsy statistics for the same period. There were 101 adenomas, 77 of which were presumed to be non-functional, and 222 carcinomas. The age-specific distribution profiles of both the benign and malignant tumors showed single peaks in the sixties and could not be distinguished from one another. The estimated age-specific distribution of morbidity of the non-functional adenomas showed a peak at about 10 years younger than that found in the autopsy records, although it was again similar to that of carcinoma derived from various clinical reports. The morbidity of the non-functional adenomas per 100,000 population was almost equal to that of breast cancer in Japan, being highest in the fifties age group with more than 4,000 people a year being suggested to have adenoma in this age bracket.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Of the total identified adenomas in the Japanese autopsy series (n=101), 25 were in patients <50 years, while 75% were in patients older than 50 years.

    “Of the total number of identified adenomas in this autopsy series (n = 101), only 25 were identified in patients <50 years, while the remaining 75% were identified in patients older than 50 years.”

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.
