Theophylline in Asthma
Abstract
Theophylline has been a popular medication for asthma for over 50 years. However, the introduction of newer pharmacologic agents, concern about the toxicity of theophylline, and recommendations in widely disseminated guidelines have recently contributed to its decreased use. In this review we reassess the role of theophylline in the pharmacotherapy of asthma and specifically address three pivotal questions: What are the data justifying its continued use? What are its risks? What is its role in the treatment of patients with asthma?HistoryAlthough first used as intravenous therapy for acute asthma1 and then as an oral medication in fixed doses . . .

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.
