Abstract

SarcoidosisSarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown cause characterized by enhanced cellular immune processes at sites of involvement.36,53,59,152 Almost all organs can be affected by the disease, but the lower respiratory tract is the site most commonly associated with morbidity and mortality.152 At least 90 per cent of patients with sarcoidosis have pulmonary manifestations; 20 to 25 per cent of these patients have a permanent loss of lung function, and 5 to 10 per cent die from complications of the disease.153,154 Sarcoidosis is found throughout the world.152 153 154 155 In the industrialized nations, the prevalence varies by sex, geographic location, . . .

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.
