The occurrence of adverse events in relation to time after registration for coronary artery bypass surgery: a population-based observational study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Our objective was to evaluate the effect of delays on adverse events while waiting for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS: An observational study that prospectively followed patients from registration on a wait list to removal for planned surgery, death while waiting, or unplanned emergency surgery. The population-based registry provided data on 12,030 patients with a record of registration on a wait list for first-time isolated CABG surgery between 1992 and 2005. RESULTS: In total, 104 patients died and 382 patients underwent an emergency surgery before planned CABG. The death rate was 0.5 per 1000 patient-weeks in the semiurgent group and 0.6 per 1000 patient-weeks the nonurgent group, adjusted OR = 1.07 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.69-1.65). The emergency surgery rate of 1.2 per 1000 patient-weeks in the nonurgent group was lower compared to 2.1 per 1000 patient-weeks in the semiurgent group (adjusted OR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.54-0.97). However, the nonurgent group had a greater cumulative incidence of preoperative death than the semiurgent group for almost all weeks on the wait list, adjusted OR = 1.92 (95% CI 1.25-2.95). The surgery rate was 1.2 per 1000 patient-weeks in the nonurgent group and 2.1 per 1000 patient-weeks in the semiurgent group, adjusted OR = 0.72 (95% CI 0.54-0.97). The cumulative incidence of emergency surgery before planned CABG was similar in the semiurgent and nonurgent groups, adjusted OR = 0.88, (95% CI 0.64-1.20). CONCLUSION: Despite similar death rates in the semiurgent and nonurgent groups, the longer waiting times in the nonurgent group result in a greater cumulative incidence of death on the wait list compared to that in the semiurgent group. These longer waiting times also offset the lower rate of emergency surgery before planned admission in the nonurgent group so that the cumulative incidence of the emergency surgery was similar in both groups.

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.
