Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the normal endometrial thickness (ET) on transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) of asymptomatic postmenopausal women not on hormone replacement therapy. A subgroup that was determined to be suspicious for having an endometrial polyp was compared with the remainder. METHODS: This prospective study selected 1,500 consecutive asymptomatic postmenopausal women receiving TVUS assessment from January to August 2010. ET was recorded. Results were divided into those with a normal-appearing lining (n = 1,399) and those suspicious for polyp (n = 101). Results for the entire sample were obtained and the groups were compared using independent samples t tests. RESULTS: Of 1,500 women aged 45-95 years, 77.1% had an ET of ≤4 mm and 92% were ≤5 mm. Independent samples t tests were performed to compare the mean age and mean ET based on polyp status (i.e. with or without a possible polyp). There was a significant difference in mean age, 67.71 vs. 62.36 years (p < 0.01) and mean ET 8.02 vs. 3.40 mm (p < 0.01) between groups. CONCLUSIONS: 92% of asymptomatic postmenopausal women not on hormone replacement therapy had an ET of ≤5 mm. The mean ET was 3.71 ± 1.9 mm. However, a significant group, 6.7%, had an endometrial lining suspicious for polyp. These women had a significant increase in mean age and ET.

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
