Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Chong and colleagues (1) used gold-standard methods to assess health-state utilities in 193 outpatients at various stages of liver disease due to chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection. They showed worsening of health-state utility scores with progression of disease from mild to moderate chronic hepatitis, to compensated cirrhosis, to decompensated cirrhosis and to hepatocellular carcinoma. They also confirmed improvement in health-state utility scores after liver transplantation and with sustained virological response (SVR) to treatment of HCV infection. Patients with HCV infection had lower health-state utility scores than the general Canadian population (PÃ0.001) and significantly poorer quality of life compared with population norms in the United States (PÃ0.005).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
