  • The number of people living with Alzheimer's dementia could be influenced in the opposite direction by increased mortality due to COVID-19 and other causes of death during the pandemic in 2020-2023, which may have resulted in death prior to the onset of Alzheimer's dementia, or death with fewer years lived with Alzheimer's dementia.

    “On the other hand, the number of people living with Alzheimer's dementia could be influenced in the opposite direction by increased mortality due to COVID‐19 and other causes of death during the pandemic in 2020‐2023, which may have resulted in death prior to the onset of Alzheimer's dementia, or death with fewer years lived with Alzheimer's dementia.”

  • The recent decline in U.S. life expectancy began well before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    “the recent decline in U.S. life expectancy began well before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic”

    From Nurse-led approaches to address social determinants of health and advance health equity: A new framework and its implications (2023) · cites this paper as Arias et al., 2022

    The Life expectancy in the United States section reports a decline from 2019 to 2021, and the Vital Statistics Surveillance Report says most of that decline occurred in the first year of the pandemic. Neither passage establishes when a longer-running decline began. Searches for pre-2019 trends did not yield a passage establishing that it began well before COVID-19. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
