Determination of Thresholds of Radioactive Iodine Uptake Response With Clinical Exposure to Perchlorate
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a more robust examination of perchlorate exposure on iodide uptake inhibition (IUI) using pooled data from four clinical studies of perchlorate exposure. METHODS: To establish a response threshold for IUI, data were analyzed using segmented linear regression and benchmark dose (BMD) analysis. RESULTS: Segmented linear regression applied to data for 69 subjects representing nine doses identified a breakpoint corresponding to a change in the slope of the dose-response relationship of 3.0 mg/d perchlorate. The estimated BMD for a 20% decrease in iodine uptake was 2.3 mg/d, with a lower 95% confidence interval limit of 1.6 mg/d. CONCLUSIONS: A threshold dose for IUI from perchlorate exposure of 1.6 to 3.0 mg/d (0.021 to 0.038 mg/kg d) was estimated using two modeling approaches. These estimates are slightly higher than the lowest observed effect level of 0.02 mg/kg d from the Greer Study.

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.
