Role of Infection in Chronic Bronchitis
Abstract
CHRONIC or recurrent production of sputum on most days for at least three months a year for more than two years defines the disease called chronic bronchitis.1 Although the existence of states of chronic and recurrent sputum production has been recognized for a long time, adequate description of the pathology and epidemiology of chronic bronchitis has largely taken place over the past 25 years.1 2 3 4 5 During this period an extensive clinical literature has appeared detailing the role of infectious agents in the production of both the chronic and the recurrent aspects of chronic bronchitis and the effect of antimicrobial agents in . . .

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.
