Tuberculosis among Health Care Workers
Abstract
The risk of tuberculosis among health care workers was substantial in the era before antibiotics1 but declined rapidly after 1950 because of the lower incidence of the disease in the population and the advent of effective therapy. These changes resulted in the relaxation of infection-control practices in hospitals, if not outright neglect of such practices. Over the past decade, two factors have profoundly altered views about the risk of tuberculosis in health care workers. The first is the resurgence of the disease. Between 1985 and 1991, the incidence of all forms of tuberculosis increased by 24 to 34 percent 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.
