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.
Purpose: Encephalitis and meningitis (EM) are severe infections of the central nervous system associated with high morbidity and mortality. In Kazakhstan, 33% to 77% of hospitalized EM cases are of unknown etiology. While cases with clinical symptoms of EM undergo routine culture for bacterial pathogens including Neisseria meningitides, PCR has been infrequently used to identify viruses or bacteria missed by culture.
