CHANGES IN WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE FOLLOWING HAEMODIALYSIS: A BRIEF REPORT
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Waist circumference (WC) is a known indicator of cardiovascular disease in the haemodialysis (HD) population. However it is not known if HD results in clinically significant changes in WC. OBJECTIVE: The study purpose was to quantify the degree of change in WC induced by HD. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study with 27 patients on HD. Height, body weight, WC, hip circumference (HC), body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) were measured immediately prior to and following HD over three consecutive treatments. Differences between three-day average pre- and post-HD weight, BMI, WC, HC and WHR were assessed. RESULTS: Post-HD WC was significantly lower than that measured pre-HD. Differences in pre-post HD body weight, BMI, HC and WHR were also observed. CONCLUSIONS: All of the traditional clinical indicators of body composition (WC, HC, WHR, body weight and BMI) were lower following HD.

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.
