Adherence to vascular protection drugs in diabetic patients in Quebec: a population-based analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess adherence to vascular protection drugs in diabetic patients using a cohort of diabetic patients aged >or=30 years, covered by the public drug insurance in the province of Quebec, excluding gestational diabetes and patients who were hopitalized or died during the 1-year follow-up. Drug adherence was measured using the medication possession ratio. Multivariate analyses, including logit and multinomial logit were used. Of the 170,381 diabetics (mean age: 62 +/- 14 years), 18% and 32% were regular users of ASA and ACEIs/ARBs, respectively. Regular use increased with age (p<0.0001) and comorbidities (p<0.0001). Rural inhabitants were more likely to use ACEIs/ARBs (OR: 1.29; 95% CI: 1.26-1.32) and to be regular users (OR: 1.36; 95% CI: 1.32-1.39). Similar results were found for ASA. In conclusion, despite the high cardiovascular risks associated with diabetes, less than one-third of diabetic adults took vascular-protection drugs regularly. This important issue needs proper attention.

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.
