Mother-to-Child Transmission of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Peckham, Catherine, Gibb, Diana·1995·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Heterosexual transmission is responsible for most infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The increase in pediatric HIV infection has had a substantial impact on childhood mortality, both in industrialized countries, such as the United States,1 and in developing countries.2 In some areas in sub-Saharan Africa, 10 to 30 percent of pregnant women are HIV-infected, and infection is now spreading to parts of Southeast Asia.Reporting of pediatric cases of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) to public health authorities, registers of HIV-infected children, and unlinked anonymous testing of antenatal and neonatal blood samples make it possible to monitor the prevalence . . .

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.
