Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The prescription of opioid analgesics has risen sharply in North America over the past 
\ntwo decades. This increase has been accompanied by a rise in overdoses. The 
\npresent study draws on administrative data collected from emergency department 
\ncontacts to describe the epidemiology of opioid overdose in Ontario b~tween 2002 
\nand 2006 and to examine the role of regional variation in availability of specialist 
\ncare. 
\nThe number of poisonings increased from 1250 (10.9 per 100,000) in FY2002 to 
\n1816 (15.2 per 100,000) in FY2005. Local concentration of specialist physicians was 
\nsignificantly associated with the incidence of opioid overdose, inversely at most 
\nlevels of availability, but positively at very high levels. Regional variation in 
\nincidence was also associated with demographics, median family income, and the rate 
\nof other drug poisonings. Policy options for limiting opioid-related harms are limited, 
\nbut improvements in monitoring and clinical management may prove valuable.

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.
