Abnormal vitamin A cytology and mortality in infants aged 9 months and less with measles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigated the relationship between abnormal vitamin A cytology and mortality in infants less than 9 months of age with measles. In a 12-month period, 116 children of this age with measles consecutively admitted to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) in Blantyre, Malawi were enrolled in the study. All guardians of patients were interviewed and clinical information and consent were obtained in a standardised fashion. Conjunctival impression cytology (CIC) was attempted on all and collected from 93 (80%) children. The overall mortality was 16%. The proportional hazards model revealed that the presence of pneumonia on admission (hazard ratio 9.58, p = 0.0002) and an abnormal vitamin A CIC on admission (hazard ratio 6.40, p = 0.003) were independently associated with mortality. Our findings suggest a relationship between abnormal vitamin A CIC and fatality in infants under 9 months of age.

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.
