Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify potential factors, including cigarette smoking and diabetes status, that affect wound-healing outcomes during a six-week course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). METHOD: Seventy-three patients with 85 non-healing lower extremity wounds were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (100% oxygen, 2.4 atmosphere absolute, (ATA), for 90 minutes). The wound area was evaluated over the six-week treatment period. RESULTS: A non-hierarchical clustering analysis of normalised wound-area data revealed that healing responses could be segregated into three groups: robust healing (n=31, over 50% reduction in area), minimal healing (n=33, 15% reduction) and non-healing (n=21,60% increase in area). Further analysis revealed that cigarette smoking was associated with poor response (p<0.0001), whereas diabetes was not. Robust responders had higher blood levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen, increased peripheral oxygenation (TcpO2), and were younger than less responsive patients. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that response to HBOT is variable and some patients do not benefit from it. Clinicians should evaluate available laboratory values, age and social history to determine if a patient is likely to benefit from HBOT.

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
