Abstract
E Burleigh Dr E Burleigh, Victoria Infirmary, Glasgow, UK; Liz.Burleigh@sgh.scot.nhs.uk In elderly hospital inpatients, does vitamin D plus calcium prevent falls more than calcium alone? ### Design: randomised controlled trial. ### Allocation: concealed. ### Blinding: blinded (patients, {clinicians, data collectors, data analysts, and outcome assessors}*). ### Follow-up period: until discharge, transfer to another unit, or death (median hospital stay 30 d). ### Setting: an acute geriatric unit in a UK hospital. ### Patients: 205 inpatients (median age 84 y, 59% women, 85% had a history of falls) who were ⩾65 years of age and newly transferred or admitted to general assessment or rehabilitation wards. Exclusion criteria included known hypercalcaemia, urolithiasis, renal dialysis therapy, terminal status, bed-bound with a reduced Glasgow Coma Scale, current use of calcium and vitamin D supplements, and designation of “nil …

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
