Infection in Organ-Transplant Recipients

Fishman, Jay A., Rubin, Robert H.·1998·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

A primary goal in organ transplantation is the prevention or effective treatment of infection, the most common life-threatening complication of long-term immunosuppressive therapy. The challenges involved in achieving this goal are several: a broad range of potential sources of infection ranging from latent viruses to pathogens of both community and hospital origin; immunosuppression-induced impairment of the inflammatory response, which attenuates the signs and symptoms of invasive infection; and the adverse effects of the antimicrobial drugs used for prophylaxis and therapy, which result both from the duration of therapy required and from interactions with the immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporine and tacrolimus.

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.
