A lack of empirical data on associations between causes of death has until now prevented a solution from being developed for the problem of competing causes in cause-elimination life tables.

Conventional cause-elimination life table calculations rest on the assumption that those saved from dying because of the eliminated cause have risks of dying from non-eliminated causes equal to the average risks of dying from these causes in the total population.
“The main assumption on which cause-elimination life table calculations rest is, that those who are saved from dying because of the eliminated cause (for example, ischaemic heart disease) have risks of dying from non-eliminated causes that are equal to the average risks of dying from these causes as observed in the total population.”

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.
