H5N1 Influenza — Continuing Evolution and Spread

Open access
Webster, Robert G., Govorkova, Elena A.·2006·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

We don't know whether the next influenza pandemic will be caused by the H5N1 avian influenza virus. But Drs. Robert Webster and Elena Govorkova write that given the number of cases of H5N1 influenza that have occurred in humans to date (251) and the rate of death of more than 50%, it would be prudent to develop robust plans for dealing with such a pandemic.

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.
