Abstract
Despite an undisputed association between vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), there is debate if this association implies causality. It has been suggested that cerebral infarction is a better outcome measure than vasospasm in clinical trials and observational studies. To further investigate the relationship between infarction and outcome, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of all randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that studied the efficacy of pharmaceutical preventive strategies in SAH patients, and had both cerebral infarction and clinical outcome as outcome events. Effect sizes were expressed in (pooled) risk ratio (RR) estimates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Sensitivity analyses were performed for studies with a low risk of bias and for those who reported outcome at 3 months after SAH. Twenty-four studies including 8,552 patients were included. Pharmaceutical treatments decreased the incidence of both cerebral infarction (RR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.74 to 0.93) and of poor functional outcome (RR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.86 to 0.98). The sensitivity analyses did not change the results essentially. These data suggest that the previously observed association between cerebral infarction and functional outcome implies causality, and that cerebral infarction is a better outcome measure than vasospasm in clinical trials and observational studies.

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
