Preferences of Homosexual Men with AIDS for Life-Sustaining Treatment
Abstract
The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) raises questions about appropriate care for patients with this incurable and progressive disease. Although individual episodes of infection and malignant disease can be treated, the underlying immune deficit cannot now be reversed. Decisions about whether to undertake life-sustaining treatment, such as mechanical ventilation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, must frequently be made. Because these decisions require value judgments and informed consent as well as technical expertise, they should be made jointly by physicians and patients.1 2 3 The care of patients with AIDS also illustrates the usefulness of advance directives about life-sustaining treatment. Many patients with AIDS become mentally . . .

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.
