Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

After several years of decline, reported gonorrhoea rates in Canada have recently increased substantially. National goals for gonorrhoea control were developed in 1997, but it appears that reliance on secular trends is insufficient to attain the goal of eliminating locally transmitted infection by Neisseria gonorrhoeae by 2010. We have examined disease surveillance reports from 1994 to 2001 inclusive to assess demographic and epidemiologic trends in reported cases of gonococcal infection. Since 1997, reported cases have increased by 53% among men and 33% among women. The largest proportion of cases in women is in those aged 15-24; the most dramatic increase in males has been among those aged 30-39. Reasons for the resurgence remain unclear, but disease reports indicate that renewed attention to enhanced surveillance and targeted prevention are essential for gonorrhoea control in Canada.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
