Abstract
A coroner's inquest may be held into the deaths of 8 patients at the same hospital who had been prescribed the antireflux medication cisapride.The drug was withdrawn from the Canadian market in August 2000 (see CMAJ 2001;165[10]:1370).Information about the deaths at the Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital in Burlington, Ont., emerged after a hospital pharmacist, Sana Sukkari, made a report to Health Canada about the cases last year.All 8 patients, who ranged in age from 54 to 84, were seriously ill and received treatment in the intensive care ward between June 1998 and March 2000.Treatment with cisapride was contraindicated in all cases.Dr. Karen Acheson, regional coroner for Halton, is investigating the medical causes and circumstances surrounding the deaths in order to decide whether an inquest is warranted.Cisapride was already at the centre of a coroner's inquest involving the death of 15-year-old Vanessa Young, an Ontario girl who died of a cardiac arrhythmia in March 2000.In that case, the coroner's jury made 14 recommendations aimed at improving Health Canada's drug-monitoring system.-CMAJ

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.
