Rethinking the Role of Tube Feeding in Patients with Advanced Dementia
Abstract
A byproduct of the aging of the population has been a dramatic rise in the rate of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. A conservative estimate is that there are currently 4 million people in the United States with dementia.1 In the final stage of dementia, patients are typically unable to walk or to feed themselves, they are incontinent and aphasic, and they have lost the capacity to have relationships with other people.

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.
