Abuse and Neglect of Elderly Persons
Abstract
The metaphor of domestic violence as chronic disease is a useful one for clinicians. Studies of domestic violence over the life span suggest that, like many ongoing illnesses that are typified by periods of quiescence and exacerbation, abuse is more often episodic and recurrent than an isolated event.13 This metaphor may also help to remind physicians that elderly patients are at risk; a report from the House Select Committee on Aging has suggested that between 1 million and 2 million older Americans experience mistreatment each year.4 Given the scope of this clinical and public health problem, what has been . . .

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.
