Prevention and Treatment of Pneumocystis Pneumonia

Wood, Alastair J.J., Masur, Henry·1992·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

THE number of cases of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) recognized per year in the United States has increased dramatically, from about 65 in 1967 through 1970 to an estimated 20,000 to 60,000 in the late 1980s and early 1990s.1 , 2 This increase is largely due to the epidemic of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS); other contributing factors include increasing numbers of organ-transplant recipients, the use of more aggressive chemotherapy for malignant tumors and various other inflammatory or immunologic diseases, and improved diagnostic techniques.3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 The number of cases occurring annually in the United States may decline to some extent in the 1990s . . .

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.
