Abstract
Deaton C, Dunbar SB, Moloney M, et al . Patient experiences with atrial fibrillation and treatment with implantable atrial defibrillation therapy. Heart Lung 2003;32:291–9.[OpenUrl][1][CrossRef][2][PubMed][3][Web of Science][4] Q What are patients’ experiences of living with symptomatic, drug refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) and treatment with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator with atrial therapies (ICD-AT)? Descriptive qualitative approach. 3 clinical centres in the USA. 11 patients (mean age 63 y, age range 35–80 y, 73% men) who had AF that was unresponsive to treatment for 1–20 years. Patients had been living with an ICD-AT device for a period of 6 months to 2 years. Patients had no documented ventricular arrhythmia. Patients participated in semistructured interviews, which were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. 3 researchers coded the data according to key findings and themes using a qualitative interpretive approach. Codes were compared, and discrepancies were settled by a consensus process. Patients described a … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DHeart%2B%2526%2Blung%2B%253A%2B%2Bthe%2Bjournal%2Bof%2Bcritical%2Bcare%26rft.stitle%253DHeart%2BLung%26rft.aulast%253DDeaton%26rft.auinit1%253DC.%26rft.volume%253D32%26rft.issue%253D5%26rft.spage%253D291%26rft.epage%253D299%26rft.atitle%253DPatient%2Bexperiences%2Bwith%2Batrial%2Bfibrillation%2Band%2Btreatment%2Bwith%2Bimplantable%2Batrial%2Bdefibrillation%2Btherapy.%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1016%252FS0147-9563%252803%252900074-8%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F14528186%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=10.1016/S0147-9563(03)00074-8&link_type=DOI [3]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=14528186&link_type=MED&atom=%2Febnurs%2F7%2F3%2F93.atom [4]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=000185730700001&link_type=ISI

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.
