Abstract

Doody RS, Stevens JC, Beck C, et al. Practice parameter: management of dementia (an evidence-based review). Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology. Neurology2001 May 8; 56 : 1154 –66 [OpenUrl][1][Abstract/FREE Full Text][2] QUESTION: Do pharmacological, educational, or other non-pharmacological interventions improve outcomes in patients with dementia or their caregivers? Studies were identified to July 2000 by searching Medline, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, CINAHL, Current Contents , Psychological Abstracts, PsychINFO, and the Cochrane databases using search terms including Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular or multi-infarct dementia, dementia with associated parkinsonian disorder, progressive supranuclear palsy, frontotemporal dementia, and senile dementia. Additional search terms were question specific. Bibliographies of relevant papers were also reviewed. Studies were selected if they were randomised controlled trials published in any language or other types of studies published in English, and if they included >20 participants. Data were extracted on study quality, participant characteristics, interventions, outcome measures, and results. 380 … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DNeurology%26rft.stitle%253DNeurology%26rft.aulast%253DDoody%26rft.auinit1%253DR.%2BS.%26rft.volume%253D56%26rft.issue%253D9%26rft.spage%253D1154%26rft.epage%253D1166%26rft.atitle%253DPractice%2Bparameter%253A%2BManagement%2Bof%2Bdementia%2B%2528an%2Bevidence-based%2Breview%2529%253A%2BReport%2Bof%2Bthe%2BQuality%2BStandards%2BSubcommittee%2Bof%2Bthe%2BAmerican%2BAcademy%2Bof%2BNeurology%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1212%252FWNL.56.9.1154%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F11342679%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/ijlink?linkType=ABST&journalCode=neurology&resid=56/9/1154&atom=%2Febnurs%2F5%2F1%2F20.atom

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.
