Abstract
Population surveys on hypertension management reveal worrying deficiencies in the awareness and treatment of high blood pressure. Many patients with hypertension will require two or more drugs with complementary mechanisms of action (which generally have additive effects, producing greater blood pressure reductions than either agent alone) to attain the blood pressure goals specified in internationally accepted guidelines. Nevertheless, physicians are often reluctant to prescribe multiple anti-hypertensive drugs due to concerns over side-effects, inconvenient dosing regimens and costs. Fixed-dose formulations combining two agents from different classes in a single tablet should help to allay these concerns. A fixed-dose combination containing telmisartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic) has recently been developed. Telmisartan/hydrochlorothiazide provides additional anti-hypertensive efficacy compared with the respective monotherapies in a wide range of patients, including black patients, requires once-daily dosing, is cost-effective, well tolerated and is associated with less potassium depletion than hydrochlorothiazide administered alone.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
