The Relation between the Nasal-Staphylococcal-Carrier State and the Incidence of Postoperative Complications
Abstract
INFECTIONS caused by hemolytic, coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus have become an increasingly serious and prevalent problem. In many hospitals such infectious complications have assumed prime significance in the etiology of the morbidity and mortality of postoperative patients.1 2 3 4 5 Of the many studies of possible cause- and-effect relations that have been reported, of particular interest have been those dealing with the nasal-carrier state of hospital personnel, the general-hospital patient and the general population in the community.6 7 8 9 The high nasal-carrier state often found among hospital personnel has been suggested as an important factor in the transmission of infections due to the hemolytic staphylococcus, as . . .

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.
