Diabetes after pregnancy: a study protocol for the derivation and validation of a risk prediction model for 5-year risk of diabetes following pregnancy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background Pregnancy offers a unique opportunity to identify women at higher future risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). In pregnancy, a woman has greater engagement with the healthcare system, and certain conditions are more apt to manifest, such as gestational DM (GDM) that are important markers for future DM risk. This study protocol describes the development and validation of a risk prediction model (RPM) for estimating a woman’s 5-year risk of developing type 2 DM after pregnancy. Methods Data will be obtained from existing Ontario population-based administrative datasets. The derivation cohort will consist of all women who gave birth in Ontario, Canada between April 2006 and March 2014. Pre-specified predictors will include socio-demographic factors (age at delivery, ethnicity), maternal clinical factors (e.g., body mass index), pregnancy-related events (gestational DM, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy), and newborn factors (birthweight percentile). Incident type 2 DM will be identified by linkage to the Ontario Diabetes Database. Weibull accelerated failure time models will be developed to predict 5-year risk of type 2 DM. Measures of predictive accuracy (Nagelkerke’sR2), discrimination (C-statistics), and calibration plots will be generated. Internal validation will be conducted using a bootstrapping approach in 500 samples with replacement, and an optimism-corrected C-statistic will be calculated. External validation of the RPM will be conducted by applying the model in a large population-based pregnancy cohort in Alberta, and estimating the above measures of model performance. The model will be re-calibrated by adjusting baseline hazards and coefficients where appropriate. Discussion The derived RPM may help identify women at high risk of developing DM in a 5-year period after pregnancy, thus facilitate lifestyle changes for women at higher risk, as well as more frequent screening for type 2 DM after pregnancy.

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.
