Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify patient and clinical factors most strongly associated with a spinal cord injury patient's risk for developing a pressure ulcer (PU) during rehabilitation. DESIGN: This is a prospective observational cohort study conducted at an urban rehabilitation hospital-based specialized spinal cord injury center. The main outcome measure was the onset of a stage 2 or higher PU. RESULTS: Study patients (N = 159) with new (n = 66) and patients with earlier (n = 99) spinal injuries had identical rates at which they acquired a new PU (stage ≥2) in rehabilitation--13.1%. The patients who came to rehabilitation with a PU or myocutaneous flap exhibited a higher rate of developing yet another PU while in rehabilitation (30.2%) than those who came to rehabilitation without an existing PU or flap (6.9%). Logistic regression analysis identified two variables that best predicted a patient's risk at admission for developing a PU during rehabilitation (c = 0.77)--entering rehabilitation with a PU and admission Functional Independence Measure transfers score of less than 3.5. CONCLUSIONS: The greatest risk of developing a new PU in rehabilitation is being admitted with an existing PU followed by admission Functional Independence Measure transfers score of less than 3.5. Using these two variables, one can develop a patient PU risk algorithm at admission that can alert clinicians for the need to enhance vigilance, skin monitoring, and early patient education.

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
