The Definition of Some External Characteristics Used in the Assessment of Gestational Age in the Newborn Infant
Abstract
SUMMARY: Definitions of 12 physical characteristics of newborn babies that can be used in the assessment of gestational age have been evolved by agreement between workers in Aberdeen and Newcastle, and a system of scoring each characteristic has also been agreed. Trials have been made to determine the degree of correlation between the results of such scoring by different observers.

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.
