INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
10 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Tonsillectomy was one of the most commonly performed surgeries on American children in the mid-twentieth century?

Unclear. Several sources state that tonsillectomy is among the most commonly performed pediatric surgical procedures, and one notes it was commonplace and sought by parents in the early twentieth century. None of the retrieved items provides data on how commonly it was performed on American children specifically during the mid-twentieth century.
