Fast Facts provide additional information, quickly.

The Fast Facts section goes directly below the Research Notes inside the double curly brackets around the "Guidenote" code, and is the perfect place for including more specific information about a topic. The individual facts that are included may vary depending on the topic and should not repeat the information contained in the Research Notes. As an example, the Fast Facts about a particular disease or condition might include information about:

1. Prevalence/Incidence. How many people in the US currently (and/or the world) have this condition and how many new cases there are every year.
2. Most common signs and symptoms. A sign is something that you can see; a symptom is something that you can feel. Example: jaundice is a sign of pancreatic cancer, fatigue is a symptom of anemia.
3. Cause(s)
4. Complications
5. Treatment(s)
6. Prognosis
7. Any other interesting fact

Our policy is to include 3-5 Fast Facts and to list them as complete sentences.

All the same writing guidelines for Research Notes apply to Fast Facts, including correct grammar, spelling, capitalization, and inclusion of inter-links and citations.
