Prior studies of mortality in persons with ASD or ADHD have reported inconsistent results.
“several studies13,14,15,16,17,18,19 have suggested that persons with ASD or ADHD may be associated with an increased risk of mortality; however, the results are inconsistent.”

“As observed earlier (Isager et al., 1999), and in agreement with the findings of Shavelle and colleagues (Pickett et al., 2006; Shavelle et al., 2001), the mortality among those with ASD was nearly twice that of the general population (SMR = 1.93).”

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.
