Early deaths in pediatric acute leukemia: a population-based study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose was to describe the incidence and risk factors associated with early deaths (≤ 42 days from diagnosis) among children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in Ontario, Canada. The data source for this population-based, retrospective cohort study was the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario Networked Information System (POGONIS). Patients with acute leukemia aged ≤ 18 years diagnosed between 1990 and 2010 were included. The study population consisted of 1954 children with ALL and 403 with AML. The early death rate was 40/2357 (1.7%), with 1.1% of patients with ALL and 4.7% of patients with AML dying early. Among all 442 deaths recorded, 9.0% occurred early. Twelve/40 (30.0%) early deaths were attributed to infection. Factors associated with early deaths were AML (p < 0.0001) and age ≥ 10 years at diagnosis (p = 0.038). Future interventions to improve survival may consider focusing on the early treatment period and may target AML and older 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.
