World TB Day, March 24, 2000 – Forging new partnerships to stop TB
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nearly 2000 years after Hippocrates described the “almost always fatal disease of the lungs” in 460 BC, tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health crisis (1). In the early 1800s, one in five Canadians had TB in their lifetime. As rates fell because of an improved standard of living, effective control of transmission by public health means and effective therapy, there were hopes for TB's eradication (although disease remained at unacceptable levels among the Aboriginal population) (2). In Canada, approximately 2000 new cases and more than 100 deaths are reported each year (2). The number of Canadians asymptomatically infected with the tubercle bacillus (ie, skin test positive) is unknown. Of those adults who become skin test positive (ie, infected), there is approximately a 5% risk in the year after they become skin test positive and another 5% risk over the rest of their lives that they will develop TB disease of the chest, nervous system, bone, abdomen, etc. For the young child, the risk of disease, as opposed to just infection, is increased to 40% in the first year after infection when the skin test becomes positive.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
