Abstract
Parry O, Peel E, Douglas M, et al . Patients in waiting: a qualitative study of type 2 diabetes patients’ perceptions of diagnosis. Fam Pract 2004;21:131–6.[OpenUrl][1][CrossRef][2][PubMed][3][Web of Science][4] Q How do patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes perceive their diagnosis? Constant comparative method with direction from a grounded theory approach. 16 general practices and 3 hospital clinics in the Lothian region of Scotland, UK. 40 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the previous 6 months. Almost all patients were white and treated by diet alone or diet plus metformin and/or gliclazide. Patients participated in semistructured interviews of about 1 hour, which included questions on how they came to be diagnosed with diabetes, how they felt when they found out they had diabetes, and their experiences with diabetes services. Interviews were tape recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data collection and analysis occurred concurrently. Regular team meetings were held to identify recurrent themes, explore patients’ underlying reasoning, discuss deviant cases, and identify new research questions. First contact. Before diagnosis, more than half of patients … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DFamily%2BPractice%26rft.stitle%253DFam%2BPract%26rft.aulast%253DParry%26rft.auinit1%253DO.%26rft.volume%253D21%26rft.issue%253D2%26rft.spage%253D131%26rft.epage%253D136%26rft.atitle%253DPatients%2Bin%2Bwaiting%253A%2Ba%2Bqualitative%2Bstudy%2Bof%2Btype%2B2%2Bdiabetes%2Bpatients%2527%2Bperceptions%2Bof%2Bdiagnosis%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1093%252Ffampra%252Fcmh203%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F15020378%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=10.1093/fampra/cmh203&link_type=DOI [3]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=15020378&link_type=MED&atom=%2Febnurs%2F8%2F1%2F29.atom [4]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=000220180200003&link_type=ISI

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.
