Seborrheic Dermatitis

Naldi, Luigi, Rebora, Alfredo·2009·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

A 35-year-old man reports itching, redness, and scaling in his scalp, eyebrows, and external auditory canal. He has tried several over-the-counter dandruff shampoos, with only temporary relief, and is increasingly embarrassed by this problem. Physical examination reveals greasy scaling on the scalp and erythema with yellowish scales in the nasolabial creases. How should his case be managed?

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.
