PATIENT INFORMATION RECALL IN A RHEUMATOLOGY CLINIC
Abstract
One hundred and fifty-one patients representative of a routine rheumatology clinic were studied to assess the recall of information and the importance of factors influencing it. Total recall of given information was 40%. Recall regarding treatment was higher than that regarding diagnosis. Patients over the age of 70 years recalled less information. Those who were anxious recalled more than those who were relaxed. Patients misconstrued 48% of what they thought they remembered. The more information given, the lower was the proportion correctly recalled.

“The more information presented in a consultation, the lower the proportion that is correctly recalled.(42) The wide array of potentially effective non-pharmacological interventions for breathlessness fit neatly within the three domains of the clinical model (Table 2).”

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.
