Electroconvulsive therapy in a state psychiatric hospital in Singapore: Rates of use, indications, and outcome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal genetic illness in the Caucasian population. Studies have shown that CF patients are at an elevated risk of developing colon cancer. Colonic adenomas are the precursors of colon cancer. This study aims to determine the prevalence of adenomas in patients with cystic fibrosis.All patients were recruited prospectively at The Ottawa Hospital Cystic Fibrosis Clinic from 2010 through 2015. Baseline demographic and cystic fibrosis disease characteristics were collected from the clinic's CF patient database. Upon presentation at the endoscopy unit, and after a brief history and physical exam, a colonoscopy was performed. Polyps were resected if detected and sent to the pathology department for characterization. Findings were compared with a control group (pairing each CF patient with 5 age and sex-matched controls) of near-average risk patients who underwent a colonoscopy at the same center.Of the 33 patients that provided informed consent to participate in the study, 30 patients underwent colonoscopy and 13/30 (43.3%) were found to have colonic adenomas compared to 7 (4.7%) of the 150 control patients. The relative risk ratio for adenoma detection in a CF patient as compared to a matched control patient was 9.29 (95% CI 4.04–21.31), p < 0.01.Colonic adenomas are more prevalent in CF patients compared to the general population. This study suggests the need for additional research to support recently published screening guidelines for CF patients.

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.
