Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this issue of EclinicalMedicine, Diaco and colleagues describe a retrospective, secondary analysis of routinely collected data of 103 patients followed by two infectious diseases specialists in the HIV out-patient clinic of the University Department of Medicine and Infectious Diseases Service, Kantonsspital Baselland, Basel, Switzerland. They found that 70 patients were de-escalated to either dolutegravir/emtricitabine or dolutegravir/lamivudine by stopping tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or abacavir [1].
