Abstract
(2002) J Pediatr 140, 27; Schuh S, Coates AL, Binnie R, et al. . Efficacy of oral dexamethasone in outpatients with acute bronchiolitis. . Jan; . : . –32. . [OpenUrl][1][CrossRef][2][PubMed][3][Web of Science][4] QUESTION: In children <2 years of age who present to the emergency department (ED) with acute bronchiolitis, what is the effectiveness of oral dexamethasone? Randomised (allocation concealed*), blinded (clinicians, patients, data collectors, and outcome assessors),* placebo-controlled trial with follow up at 4 hours and 7 days. The ED of a hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. 71 children who were between 8 weeks and 23 months of age, had a first wheezing episode associated with respiratory distress and an upper respiratory tract infection, and had a Respiratory Disease Assessment Instrument rating ≥6. Follow-up was 99% at 4 hours (mean age 6.5 mo, 61% boys) and 94% at 7 days. 36 children were allocated to a single dose of oral dexamethasone, 1 mg/kg, and 34 were allocated to placebo.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

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, unvalidatedLabeled directly by 2 models reading the full record.
The models disagree on parts of this classification; every voice is preserved in the section at the end of the page.
