Adjunctive use of anticoagulants at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with an acute coronary syndrome treated with fondaparinux: a multinational retrospective review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Aim: This retrospective chart review was designed to evaluate physician adherence to the prescribing information for fondaparinux regarding adjunctive anticoagulant use during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods and results: Medical record abstractors at each site obtained information regarding the use of fondaparinux and adjunctive anticoagulants during PCI. Physician adherence to fondaparinux prescribing information regarding the administration of an adjunctive anticoagulant during PCI was estimated using generalized estimating equations. This retrospective study, conducted in 2008-2010, included a total of 1056 patient records from 27 sites across 6 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Poland, and Sweden). Over 98% of patients had been treated with fondaparinux at the recommended 2.5 mg dose. Use of adjunctive anticoagulant during PCI was 97.5%, giving an adjusted adherence rate of 98.8% (95% confidence interval: 0.97-0.99), with 86.3% of patients receiving unfractionated heparin. Although the sub-group of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction who underwent primary PCI was too small to make a definitive conclusion, 70.4% of the 159 patients did not receive fondaparinux immediately prior to (<24 h) or during primary PCI, suggesting that their treating physicians may have been adherent to the prescribing information. Conclusion: Physician adherence to the prescribing information for adjunctive anticoagulation during PCI in patients with an ACS receiving fondaparinux was high. The results were consistent in each of the six countries and across patient sub-groups.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
