Involutional Osteoporosis

Riggs, B. Lawrence, Melton, L. Joseph·1986·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

OSTEOPOROSIS is an enormous public health problem, responsible for at least 1.2 million fractures in the United States each year. The sites of these fractures are the vertebrae in 538,000 cases, the hip in 227,000, the distal forearm (Colles' fracture) in 172,000, and other limb sites in 283,0001 (and Melton LJ, Riggs BL: unpublished data). One third of women over 65 will have vertebral fractures (Melton LJ, Riggs BL: unpublished data). By extreme old age, one of every three women and one of every six men will have had a hip fracture.2 This catastrophic type of fracture is fatal in . . .

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.
