Abstract

Haemopoietic substances are often given to other anaemias than those dependent upon a deficiency of such factors. There is no evidence that they are of any value, and they are often only an unjustified expense. Such anaemias may be benefited by blood transfusions. Transfused blood may apparently act in two ways. It may supply sufficient blood to enable the patient to carry on for a week or fortnight but then has to be repeated as in aplastic anaemia. Transfusion also appears in some instances to stimulate hsemopoiesis. At present it is impossible to predict when this will occur. Provided adequate steps are taken to transfuse compatible blood there are, I believe, no contra-indications to transfusion. I have seen many patients benefited, and only one instance in which transfusion could possibly be said to have shortened life. It is always worthy of trial in ansemias which fail to respond to other treatment. Direct matching of the blood is essential, especially in patients who have been frequently transfused.

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.
