When Palliative Care May Be the Only Option in the Management of Severe Burns: A Case Report Written With the Help of ChatGPT
Open accessAbstract
We present a case of 100% third-degree burns. The patient received full resuscitative measures, but the family was prepared for a poor outcome based on the severe extent of the injuries. After several days of treatment, it became apparent that the patient indeed could not survive the injuries and palliative care was instituted, including mechanical ventilation, fluid therapy, and analgesia. Surgery was not possible without causing major disfigurement, including enucleation of both eyes and amputation of all limbs.

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.
