  • Neutropenic patients with persistent fever despite broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy have an approximately 20% risk of developing an overt invasive fungal infection.

    “Randomized, prospective clinical trials have demonstrated that neutropenic patients with persistent fever despite receipt of broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy have an ∼20% risk of developing an overt invasive fungal infection [148, 149].”

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.
