PATENT FORAMEN OVALE IN ELDERLY STROKE PATIENTS
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of echocardiographically detectable patent foramen ovale (PFO) in elderly patients who have strokes from cerebral infarction, as well as to assess the association between PFOs and other risk factors for stroke disease. Forty-three patients aged > or = 65 years admitted consecutively with cerebral infarction shown on computerised tomography of the brain were assessed using transoesophageal echocardiography. A PFO was present in 8 (19%) of the 43 patients. Four patients (50%) in this PFO group had stroke risk factors. Two were in atrial fibrillation and, of the six patients in sinus rhythm, a risk factor was present in two, both of whom had diabetes mellitus. A PFO was not detected in 35 patients. Twenty-nine (83%) of the patients in this group had risk factors, with 18 having two or more. Seven patients were in atrial fibrillation. Of the 28 patients in sinus rhythm, risk factors were present in 22 (78%).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
