Effect of Vertical Displacement of the Arm on Indirect Blood-Pressure Measurement

Mitchell, Paul L., Parlin, R. Willis, Blackburn, Henry·1964·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

GREAT importance is given to indirect auscultatory blood-pressure measurement for its convenience and value both as an indicator of an underlying disorder and as a predictor of future cardiovascular-renal disease — despite its known lack of precision. Use of the technic in descriptive and experimental studies in large population groups such as those directed from this laboratory imposes greater demands on this clinical tool than those required for adequate evaluation of individual patients in the clinic. Of many sources of variation and error small systematic differences in particular may lead to significant, spurious differences in comparative studies.Bordley et al. . . .

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.
