Outcome Survey of Therapy with Diode Laser in Patients with Allergic Rhinitis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To measure the outcome of treatment of allergic rhinitis with a diode laser in the contact mode. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Tertiary care centre. METHOD: Forty-two newly diagnosed patients participated in the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After a follow-up of 1 year, we measured the result of treatment by an allergy outcome survey questionnaire in the 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year following the operation. RESULTS: Twenty-seven of 42 patients (64.3%) who replied filled out the questionnaire completely. The mean operation time took 1 minute, 28 seconds per patient, no nasal packing was necessary, and no complications were observed. Statistical analysis revealed significant improvement in the symptom score 1 year after laser surgery. The outcome of laser surgery declines with time. CONCLUSION: Short-term results revealed that diode laser treatment of allergic rhinitis is a useful procedure that can be performed as outpatient surgery under local anesthesia. The short operation time and less discomfort provide other reasons for choosing this treatment for allergic rhinitis.

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.
