Abstract
Text books are a cornerstone in the training of medical staff and students, and they are an important source of references and reviews for these professionals. The objective of this study was to determine both the quantity and quality of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) information included in medical texts. After reviewing 119 medical text books from various medical specialties, we found that 48 (40.3%) of the medical text books included information on CFS. However, among the 129 527 total pages within these medical text books, the CFS content was presented on only 116.3 (0.090%) pages. Other illnesses that are less prevalent, such as multiple sclerosis and Lyme disease, were more frequently represented in medical text books. These findings suggest that the topic ofCFS is underreported in published medical text books.

Korte samenvatting:
Er zijn 119 medische tekstenboeken onderzocht uit diverse disciplines en 48 hadden er informatie over CVS. Van de 129.527 bladzijden in al deze boeken samen, gingen er slechts 116,3 over CVS (0,09%).
Anderen ziektes zoals MS en Lyme kwamen vaker voor in de boeken, terwijl die in het leven minder vaak voorkomen.
Niet echt verrassend, maar fijn om er bewijs voor te zien.
Dit is overigens al van mei 2010 zie ik net, dus sorry als ik dit dubbel plaats.
