Abstract
Non-dialysis care (NDC) is the provision of all aspects of renal care except for the dialysis process. While the nomenclature may vary, with terms such as 'conservative care', 'maximal conservative management' or 'non-dialytic treatment' having been associated with NDC, the clinical principle is to provide comprehensive care to patients who opt to forgo dialysis despite increasing uraemic symptoms. NDC therapies focus on pain relief, the use of erythropoietin-stimulating agents, anti-pruritics and anti-nausea therapies, with lower emphasis on strategies used to modulate the rate of renal progression. Patient selection remains the most challenging aspect of developing an NDC program, with selection often being based on physician instinct, family principles and population-based prognostic risk measures. Outcomes are fair with a significant proportion of NDC patients experiencing lower hospitalization days and higher rates of death at home (or in a preferred environment) rather than in acute-care hospitals.

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 it
