Assess the effectiveness of nimesulide in reducing pain in panretinal photocoagulation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of nimesulide for the reduction of pain in panretinal photocoagulation (PRP).Methods A double-masked randomized controlled study was performed.Fifty-eight eyes in 48 patients undergoing PRP were enrolled and randomised to group nimesulide or placebo,taken for 2 days starting 24 hours before the laser treatment.The laser treatment was performed following a standardized protocol.Pain after treatment was assessed using Short form of the McGill pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ),it included pain rating index (PRI),visual analogous scale (VAS) and present pain intensity (PPI).The score of them was the pain level.Results The PRI for group nimesulide was 3.8333±2.3057 and group placebo was 4.3333±3.1132,(P >0.05).The VAS for group nimesulide was 2.6167±1.1347 and group placebo was 3.2333±0.5942,(P <0.05).The PPI for group nimesulide was 1.3667±0.6149 and group placebo was 1.1111±0.7511,(P >0.05).The mean pain level for group nimesulide was 7.8167±3.4046 and group placebo was 8.6778±3.5499,(P >0.05).There was no significant difference for pain levels between nimesulide instilled and placebo eyes (P >0.05).Conclusions Pre-emptive analgesia with nimesulide dose not significantly reduces pain associated with PRP. Key words: Pain; Panretinal photocoagulation; Nimesulide; SF-MPQ

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.
