Wernicke's Encephalopathy
Abstract
Despite its description over a century ago, Wernicke's encephalopathy continues to be underrecognized in both alcoholic and nonalcoholic populations. Recent studies suggest that Wernicke's encephalopathy is the most common neuropathological finding underlying chronic cognitive impairment in alcoholics and that its prevalence at autopsy, in both alcoholic and nonalcoholic populations, far exceeds its rate of recognition during life. Since Wernicke's encephalopathy is both treatable and preventable, and untold health care expenditures result from the disorder, familiarity with its epidemiologic and clinical features is important. In this article, the pathophysiologic, clinical, and neuropathological features of Wernicke's encephalopathy are reviewed, and principles of . . .

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.
