Abstract

High levels of IL-6 were found in 50% of 114 patients with primary ovarian cancer. IL-6 sensitivity was lower than that of CA 125, and the combination of both assays did not increase the sensitivity of CA 125 alone. However, elevated IL-6 serum levels were correlated with a poor prognosis since patients with low IL-6 levels had a better survival than patients with high IL-6 levels (P = 0.0009). Multivariate analysis revealed that IL-6 positivity has an independent value.

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.
