Managing patients at risk for age-related macular degeneration: a Canadian strategy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: To develop a consensus strategy for the management of patients at risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) for Canadian ophthalmologists, optometrists and physicians. Methods: Development of a consensus strategy began with a review of the literature and existing guidelines. A panel of retina specialists, ophthalmologists, and optometrists from across Canada assessed this evidence to distill what was learned and use this knowledge as the basis for developing a consensus strategy for managing patients at risk of AMD. Results: The expert panel has developed a series of recommendations for Canadian eyecare providers (eg. ophthalmologists, optometrists) and physicians to adopt as a preventive strategy for patients at risk of AMD. Interpretation: This consensus strategy is a practical guideline that can be adopted in the office setting to manage patients at risk of AMD and to advise patients with questions and concerns about AMD.

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.
