Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: The Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3) is a comprehensive, compact health status classification and health state preference system. The HUI3 system has been included in 4 Canadian population health surveys and numerous clinical trials. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the construct validity of the HUI3 for the measurement of health-related quality of life (HRQL) and attribute-specific morbidity in respondents to the 1990 Ontario Health Survey reported to have arthritis or stroke. The authors assessed (1) whether those with stroke, arthritis, and both conditions had lower HRQL scores than those with neither condition and (2) whether HUI3 detects morbidity in specific health attributes affected by arthritis and stroke. Stroke (but not arthritis) were expected to affect speech and cognition; arthritis (but not stroke) to affect pain; both to affect mobility, dexterity, and emotion; and neither to affect vision and hearing. RESEARCH DESIGN: Linear regression models of HRQL and attribute-specific utilities were estimated as a function of 3 indicator variables of health problem (stroke only, arthritis only, both) and variables included to reduce confounding. RESULTS: Subjects with stroke, arthritis, and both conditions had substantially lower HRQL than those with neither condition. Stroke subjects had greater morbidity in speech and cognition than arthritis subjects; somewhat surprisingly, pain morbidity was only slightly higher among arthritis subjects; neither condition affected vision or hearing. These associations were robust to various model specifications. CONCLUSIONS: The HUI3 system appears valid for measuring health status and HRQL for stroke and arthritis in the context of a noninstitutionalized population health survey.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
