The Cascade Effect in the Clinical Care of Patients
Abstract
IN biology, the term "cascade" refers to a process that, once started, proceeds stepwise to its full, seemingly inevitable, conclusion. Common examples are the clotting cascade and the complement cascade. Processes that occur in molecular systems often have correlates in larger systems. It is our contention that cascade effects are frequently operative in the clinical care of patients, and that recognition of this fact gives us a better understanding of the clinical decision-making process.The cascade effect that we will describe generally consists of an initiating factor or factors, followed by a series of events that seem to be a . . .

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.
