Sleep Apnea -- A Major Public Health Problem
Abstract
The National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research was established by Congress in 1988 “to conduct a comprehensive study of sleep disorders and to develop a long-range plan for the use and organization of national resources to deal effectively with sleep disorders research and medicine”1. The report of the commission, which was recently published,1 indicates that each year the lives of millions of Americans are disturbed, disrupted, or destroyed by the consequences of sleep disorders.Among specific sleep disorders, the most serious in terms of morbidity and mortality is obstructive sleep apnea2. This disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes . . .

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.
