AN EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDY OF HIP FRACTURE IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN
Abstract
In this case-control study of the epidemiology of hip fracture in post-menopausal women aged 45-74 years, cases of hip fracture and two control groups were selected from admissions to four general hospitals in Connecticut between September 1977 and May 1979. Fewer cases of hip fracture than controls had been exposed to estrogen replacement therapy, and among those who had been exposed, exposure time was shorter than that for controls. The cases had breastfed their children for shorter durations, and they more often had had both ovaries removed. Also, the cases were found to weigh less than the controls. The negative associations of hip fracture with estrogen replacement therapy, intact ovaries, and weight are consistent with the hypothesis that estrogens protect against hip fracture.

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.
