Abstract

The confidential enquiry into maternal deaths, like much in England, has a long history. It makes gripping reading for anyone working in the field of obstetrics and, more importantly, has set a world standard for Obstetric audit. The case ascertainment by The Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health is unique, since deaths are proactively investigated not just ascertained from death certificate alone. This has doubled the number of cases investigated.

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.
