Guidelines for the management of spontaneous pneumothorax. Standards of Care Committee, British Thoracic Society.
Open accessAbstract
Simple flow diagrams, with explanatory notes, have been devised to assist in the immediate and subsequent management of patients presenting to casualty departments with spontaneous pneumothorax. They cover decision making about which patients require admission; whether a drainage procedure is necessary; if so, the appropriate method, including technical details; inpatient treatment; referral of inpatients to a respiratory specialist; and follow up arrangements. The guidelines, designed for incorporation into casualty and ward handbooks, have already proved valuable in several district general hospitals, and can be used as a basis for audit.

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.
