Comparison of DNA Amplification, mRNA Amplification, and DNA Hybridization Techniques for Detection of Cytomegalovirus in Bone Marrow Transplant Recipients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A total of 676 specimens from 63 recipients of bone marrow allografts were tested for cytomegalovirus (CMV) by the following assays: CMV pp67 NucliSens (NS), AMPLICOR CMV MONITOR (RA), and the Digene CMV DNA test (DG). In a consensus analysis, the sensitivities and specificities were 60 and 99% (NS), 96 and 98% (RA), and 90 and 76% (DG), respectively; for detection of symptomatic CMV infection, they were 60 and 97% (NS), 65 and 97% (RA), and 95 and 77% (DG), respectively. In multivariate analysis, the major risk factor for symptomatic CMV infection was an increase in the viral load in the DG assay; in univariate analyses, maximum viral loads in both DG and RA assays and a rising viral load in the RA assay were also significant. The earliest detection of CMV replication was provided by the RA assay (mean, 39 days posttransplantation), followed by the DG assay (mean, 48 days) and the NS assay (mean, 58 days).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
