Communicating with patients.
Open accessAbstract
took a median of 30 minutes to arrive at the patient's home and 20 minutes to reach the hospital.When the same variables were analysed in the patients subsequently confirmed to have definite or probable acute myocardial infarction it was found that the decision time was shorter if relatives were with the patient at the onset of symptoms.The interval between admission to hospital and administration of streptokinase in those given the drug was the longest single delay (median 102 minutes).No factors were identified that significantly influenced the time of administration of streptokinase.Thus most elderly patients reach hospital in time to benefit from thrombolytic treatment but many elderly patients are not admitted to coronary care units.Not only must attention be given to shorten- ing the time to administration of thrombolytic treatment but elderly patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction should have the potential benefit of specialised coronary care.

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.
