Abstract

Congenital pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is an uncommon cause of respiratory failure in full-term newborns1–4. Although its histopathological appearance is similar to that of the alveolar proteinosis observed in older children and adults,5 the congenital form of the illness follows a different clinical course. All reported infants with congenital alveolar proteinosis have died within the first year of life despite maximal medical therapy. The incidence and cause of congenital alveolar proteinosis are unknown. Familial cases have been reported, and it has been speculated that the cause is an inborn error of surfactant metabolism4. In this report we describe . . .

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.
