Orthostatic Hypotension in the Elderly
Abstract
ORTHOSTATIC hypotension is often observed in elderly people and may result in substantial morbidity and mortality from associated falls and syncope. Studies of elderly people living in the community have found a prevalence of orthostatic hypotension as high as 20 percent among medical outpatients over 65 years of age1 , 2 and 30 percent among those over 75.1 However, recent epidemiologic studies of healthy, normotensive elderly subjects without known risk factors for orthostatic hypotension have found a prevalence of less than 7 percent.3 , 4 Data on blood pressure measured in the supine and sitting positions in over 8000 participants in the National Health . . .

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.
