Effect of Choice of Measles-Mumps-Rubella Vaccine on Immediate Vaccination Pain in Infants
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare acute pain response to 2 measles-mumps-rubella vaccines. DESIGN: Double-blind clinical trial. SETTING: Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario. Patients Forty-nine infants 12 months of age receiving their first measles-mumps-rubella vaccination. INTERVENTIONS: Random allocation to receive Priorix or M-M-R II. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pain responses before (baseline) and after (within 15 seconds) vaccination were quantified by visual analog scale (VAS; range, 0-100), completed by the parent and independently by the pediatrician, and the Modified Behavioral Pain Scale (range, 0-10), scored by a coder blinded to the vaccine allocation. Crying (yes or no) and latency to the first cry after injection were also measured. RESULTS: Twenty-six infants received Priorix and 23 received M-M-R II. There were no differences between the 2 groups in baseline characteristics or prevaccination baseline pain scores. Median pain scores after vaccination (Priorix vs M-M-R II) were as follows: pediatrician VAS, 15 vs 58 (P =.001); parent VAS, 22 vs 53 (P =.007); and Modified Behavioral Pain Scale, 6 vs 8 (P =.02). Median difference in pain scores (after minus before) for Priorix vs M-M-R II were as follows: pediatrician VAS, 15 vs 53 (P =.003); parent VAS, 22 vs 47 (P =.008); and Modified Behavioral Pain Scale, 3 vs 5 (P =.03). The median latency to first cry was 1.5 seconds in the Priorix group compared with 1 second in the M-M-R II group (P =.26). CONCLUSIONS: Priorix vaccine causes significantly less pain than M-M-R II at the time of injection for 12-month-old infants receiving their first measles-mumps-rubella vaccination.

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.
