Review: albumin administration is not associated with excess mortality in acutely ill patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Wilkes MM, Navickis RJ. Patient survival after human albumin administration. A meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials. Ann Intern Med2001 Aug 7; 135 : 149 –64 [OpenUrl][1][CrossRef][2][PubMed][3][Web of Science][4] QUESTION: Is albumin administration associated with excess mortality in acutely ill patients? Published and unpublished trials were identified by searching Medline, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, and the Cochrane Medical Editors Trial Amnesty of unpublished trials; by searching Altavista, Northern Light, HotBot, and Excite search engines for relevant internet resources; by handsearching JAMA , New England Journal of Medicine , Lancet , and BMJ from January 1990 to November 2000; contacting albumin suppliers and authors of published randomised trials; and reviewing bibliographies of previous meta-analyses, review articles, and other investigations involving albumin. Studies in any language were considered. Studies were selected if they were randomised controlled trials comparing intravenous albumin treatment with crystalloid treatment, no purified … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DAnnals%2Bof%2BInternal%2BMedicine%26rft.stitle%253DANN%2BINTERN%2BMED%26rft.aulast%253DWilkes%26rft.auinit1%253DM.%2BM.%26rft.volume%253D135%26rft.issue%253D3%26rft.spage%253D149%26rft.epage%253D164%26rft.atitle%253DPatient%2BSurvival%2Bafter%2BHuman%2BAlbumin%2BAdministration%253A%2BA%2BMeta-Analysis%2Bof%2BRandomized%252C%2BControlled%2BTrials%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.7326%252F0003-4819-135-3-200108070-00007%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F11487482%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=10.7326/0003-4819-135-3-200108070-00007&link_type=DOI [3]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=11487482&link_type=MED&atom=%2Febnurs%2F5%2F1%2F13.atom [4]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=000170298500001&link_type=ISI

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.
