Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: In the province of Quebec, a population-based study of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) was conducted at the time of a mass immunization campaign against meningococcal disease, in 2001. METHODS: The study population included residents aged 2 months to 20 years observed from November 1st, 2000 to December 31, 2002, representing 4,075,465 person-years of observation. GBS cases were identified in the provincial hospital database Med-Echo and medical records were reviewed. RESULTS: Thirty-three incident GBS cases were identified, including 27 cases of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy. The overall GBS incidence rate was 0.8/100,000 person-years, higher in persons aged 1 to 4 years (2.1/100,000) than in those 5 years or more (0.6/100,000). There was a female preponderance and no significant seasonal variation. All patients survived. CONCLUSION: Results could be used to interpret reports of adverse events associated with the introduction of new vaccines in this age-group in Canada.

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.
