Criteria-era drift makes old and new EDS literature non-equivalent
establishedfinding
Villefranche-era "EDS type III" cohorts (1997–2017) do not map cleanly onto 2017 hEDS — the new criteria are stricter and exclude cases now filed as HSD. This index tags every record with its criteria era; meta-claims mixing eras are read with caution.
