Studies on the Epidemiology of Adverse Drug Reactions: An Evaluation of Penicillin Allergy
Abstract
THE remarkable lack of pharmacologic toxicity of penicillin is now well established, but penicillin hypersensitivity reactions have become a serious problem. A projection of statistics from some surveys estimates that 100 to 300 fatalities occur annually in the United States from reactions to penicillin,1 and an estimated 2,500,000 people in the United States are allergic to this widely used antibiotic.2 Adverse reactions to penicillin occur in 1 to 8 per cent of patients treated.3 The different reaction rates are probably related to numerous factors, including the difficulty in attributing reactions specifically to penicillin, particularly when several drugs are being administered . . .

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.
