What this platform has drawn from it — 1 claim

UK specialist centres give different figures for how much of the liver can be removed: one states up to 75%, another states the body can cope with removal of up to two-thirds. What is liver resection?, p.4

How this record was checked, and what is doubtful about it

Held for one purpose: it states a DIFFERENT fraction of the liver as removable from the one another UK centre gives. The acquiring agent reported that no publication date was displayed; that was WRONG. The leaflet's back page reads 'March 2024 / Review: March 2027 / Leaflet reference number: OMI 86767', confirmed by extracting the PDF text directly. The 0000 sentinel held the record out of published content until that was resolved - the second time in two phases an agent has reported a missing date that was there.
