Tier A/B condition standardization

13/13

High-clinical-risk condition pages with full structured patient summary, reviewedBy metadata, and FDA boundary classification.

Tier A: 3 FDA-cleared (K040187 microsurgical flap salvage and replantation contexts)
Tier B: 10 RCT-supported off-label

Translation-limit closure

201/201

Compound profile pages with explicit clinical-translation-limit statement preventing misreading of mechanistic findings as treatment claims.

Closes Cycle 05 audit gap (116/160 pages historically lacked this signal).

Drug-vs-leech disambiguation

201/201

Compound entries explicitly classified as whole-leech vs leech-derived vs purified vs recombinant vs synthetic-analog. Prevents conflation of FDA-approved derivatives with whole-leech therapy.

Honest regulatory uncertainty

113/155

Jurisdictions with no verified leech-specific regulatory framework explicitly marked as "unregulated" rather than inflated to a status we cannot defend.

What this page shows — and does NOT show

All metrics above are operational outputs of the editorial system: counts of pages reviewed, citations verified, and fields populated. They are independently verifiable against the public registries and git history.

This dashboard does NOT claim ASH-attributed clinical outcomes.We do not show "X patients helped" or "Y limbs saved" — those are published-literature outcomes belonging to the trials we curate, not to ASH.

Clinical outcomes can only be cited as published literature outcomes with full citation, sample size, and limitations — never as ASH institutional achievements.

Drill-down to source registries

This website provides educational information and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Medicinal leech therapy carries clinically meaningful risks and should be performed only by qualified clinicians under institutionally approved protocols. FDA 510(k) clearance for medicinal leeches is limited to specific indications; investigational and off-label discussions are labeled accordingly. For patient-specific guidance, consult a qualified healthcare provider.
