Onychomycosis: A significant medical disorder
Open accessAbstract
A number of factors have contributed to the growing incidence of fungal nail infections, including an aging population, an expanding number of immunocompromised patients, and increasing participation in fitness-related activities. Although onychomycosis and other nail diseases can adversely affect the appearance of the nail unit, the impact of such nail disfigurement extends well beyond the aesthetic realm. In fact, many patients with fungal nail infections experience serious physical, psychosocial, and occupational effects as a result of this disease. In addition, onychomycosis is a serious health burden, particularly in older persons, and has a major economic impact on the healthcare system.

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.
