Risk Factors for the Development of Cholelithiasis in Man: (First of Two Parts)
Abstract
UNDERSTANDING of the causes of the cholelithiasis has progressed rapidly since the most likely candidates were first characterized as fair, fat, fertile, 40-year-old women. To summarize this progress, and to indicate how the informed clinician can now anticipate the likely occurrence of gallstones, and perhaps help prevent them, are the aims of this article. We shall emphasize mechanisms thought to underlie the various risk factors that have been identified. The causes of cholesterol-gallstone formation are understood in greater depth and detail than those for pigment-stone formation and will therefore receive greater discussion. Moreover, we shall focus . . .

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.
