Abstract
INTRODUCTION: A substantial number of small surgical services in rural Canada have been discontinued in the past 15 years because of difficulties recruiting and retaining practitioners, health care restructuring and a lack of a coherent evidence base regarding the safety of small services. The objective of this study was to examine the safety of small perinatal surgical services. METHODS: We accessed perinatal data for singleton births that occurred in British Columbia between Apr. 1, 2000, and Mar. 31, 2007. We defined hospital service levels, population catchment areas surrounding each hospital and the postal codes linked to those catchment areas. Births were linked with specific catchment areas and amalgamated by service level. We made comparisons among service strata populations and adjusted for potentially confounding characteristics. RESULTS: A total of 87 294 births occurred during the study period. The births were distributed across 6 strata of services, which ranged from no local maternity services to services supported by obstetricians. Fifteen catchment areas were served by general practitioners with enhanced surgical skills (GPESSs), and 9174 births were included from this obstetric service level. Outcomes for surgical services provided by GPs compared favourably to those provided by obstetricians. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that small surgical services supported by GPESSs are a safe health services model to meet the needs of rural women and families.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
