Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Care for low back pain remains a clinical enigma. Its high prevalence and cost to the system warrants attention for improvement. Although, no major recent clinical breakthroughs for resolving back pain have emerged, reducing unnecessary tests, eliminating useless or harmful practices, preventing care dependence, and enhancing coping skills can be useful goals for improving patient outcomes. Quality Improvement (QI) approaches can serve as bridge between clinical intuition and large scale science. Three chiropractic delivery settings including two teaching clinics and one large multidisciplinary spine care center incorporated QI approaches as part of an initiative to improve low back pain care. All clinics were able to implement sustainable process and outcomes improvements.

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.
