VVS is highly probable if syncope is precipitated by pain, fear, or standing, and is associated with typical progressive prodrome (pallor, sweating, and/or nausea).
“VVS is highly probable if syncope is precipitated by pain, fear, or standing, and is associated with typical progressive prodrome (pallor, sweating, and/or nausea). 8,13-17”
From 2018 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of syncope (2018) · cites this paper as [14]
The opening section describes vasovagal fainting as syncope induced by slight pain, fear, or standing, supporting the listed triggers. It does not discuss a progressive prodrome of pallor, sweating, or nausea, or state that this combination makes VVS highly probable. The source therefore supports the triggers but not the full diagnostic claim. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSituational reflex syncope is highly probable if syncope occurs during or immediately after specific triggers, listed in Table 3.
“Situational reflex syncope is highly probable if syncope occurs during or immediately after specific triggers, listed in Table 3 . 8, 13-17”
From 2018 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of syncope (2018) · cites this paper as [14]
The opening section describes vasovagal syncope induced by pain, fear, or standing, but it does not address the claimed diagnostic criterion for situational reflex syncope. Searches for situational syncope and syncope during or immediately after specific triggers found no supporting passage in our copy; no page number was provided. (LLM, conf=0.70)

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.
