Previous studies have reported significant reductions in hospital admissions for myocardial infarction and stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Previous studies have also reported significant reductions in hospital admissions for MI and stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic (2–7).”
From Potential Indirect Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Use of Emergency Departments for Acute Life-Threatening Conditions — United States, January–May 2020 (2020) · cites this paper as [2]
The paper’s main text (page not specified) reports a statistically significant 38% reduction in STEMI cardiac catheterization laboratory activations at nine U.S. centers during the early pandemic. This supports a decline related to myocardial infarction, but activations are not hospital admissions, and the paper does not report stroke admissions. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredA study of nine high-volume U.S. cardiac catheterization laboratories found a 38% decrease in activations for heart attacks during March 2020 compared with the 14 months before the pandemic.
“For example, a study of nine high-volume U.S. cardiac catheterization laboratories found a 38% decrease in activations for heart attacks during March 2020 compared with the 14 months before the pandemic (2).”

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.
