Brain injury and hypopituitarism: the historical background
Abstract
In the year 2000, the latest review on post-head trauma hypopituitarism (PHTH) collected 367 cases of isolated or multiple deficiency of anterior pituitary hormones subsequent to traumatic brain injury. The first patient had been published in 1918 and the latest 15 were my personal observations reported in the said review. In the previous review on PHTH, which was published in 1986, a total of only 53 cases had been collected. The interest triggered by the latest review, which concluded that PHTH was indeed less rare than commonly believed, was such that a total of 192 cases have been reported from year 2000 through April, 2005.

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.
